Résumé : Anxiety disorders in children and adolescents are common, and, left untreated, can cause tremendous suffering. Fortunately, the last decade has seen considerable progress in research and practice in this crucial area. Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, this landmark work brings together leading experts to examine all aspects of childhood-onset anxiety disorders. All chapters int eh second edition have been extensively rewritten, and several important new chapters added. Providing cutting-edge knowledge and clinical tools, this is a definitive reference and text for anyone delivering or developing services for anxious young people and their families. Part I offers an overview of the developmental psychopathology of anxiety disorders in youth, including a significant new chapter on behavioral genetics. Covered are neurobiological foundations and social and behavioral risk factors, as well as salient issues in assessment. Part II then presnets the latest information on each of the specific disorders. Each clearly organized chapter describes how the disorder at hand is manifested in children of different ages; discusses its diagnosis, classification, comorbidities, and developmental course; and review emerging findings from controlled treatment studies. Separate chapters in the second edition cover several disorders that were previously addressed in less depth : generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, separation anxiety, and panic. Finally, Part III deals with general issues in treatment and provides up-to-date guidelines for evidence-based practice. Coverage comprises cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological therapies, along with an essential new chapter on how to combine these treatments effectively. Rounding out the volume is an additional new chapter detailing recent advances in prevention. Timely and authoritative, this indispensable colume belongs on the desks of child clinical psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and other pratitioners working with children and families, as well as researchers, students, and residents in these fields. It will serve as a text in advanced undergraduate and gradute-level courses and in psychiatric residency programs.
