Résumé : Adolescent Psychiatry is a poorly understood field which requires specialist knowledge to improve understanding and management of the problems faced by this group. In this practical book specialist professionals offer comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the current approaches to practice in adolescent psychiatry. They review a broad range of disorders and evaluate the treatments and services used. Much new information is presented in a highly readable manner. The general psychiatrist will benefit from the authors' expertise, and can easily incorporate their recommendations into their own work with adolescents.
