Maladies mentales - Traitement ; Maladies mentales - Diagnostic

DSM-5r Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health updates the previous companion to DSM-IV-TR, incorporating diagnostic advances from DSM-5 and new updates in evidence-based assessment and treatment in child and adolescent mental health. The book presents 29 cases written by experts in the field to provide readers with realistic examples of the types of patients that clinicians may encounter in practice. Each case is accompanied by two commentaries from leading clinicians (including child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and nurses), who draw from a combination of evidence-based interventions, biopsychosocial approaches, a systems perspective, and commonsense thinking. In addition to providing a diagnostic formulation, the commentaries address both psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacologic treatment approaches. The collaboration among the case authors and commentators yields an approach that is flexible and expansive enough to address other modalities that may be important for clinical management in specific cases. Down-to-earth and engaging, DSM-5r Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health is a rich repository of clinical wisdom that both seasoned practitioners and child and adolescent psychiatrists studying for their board exams will find extremely useful.

Imbued with a shared passion for children s mental health, the DSM-IV-TR® Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health reflects its editors and contributors conviction that through the meticulous presentation and careful study of cases, diagnosis and treatment can be vastly improved. The book is designed to be both an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees, trainers, and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians. The heart of the book is its cases, which are organized into four parts by increasing complexity. Each case is accompanied by three expert commentaries, simulating the experience of meeting with a panel of supervisors or depending on the reader s training level consultants who are among the best in the field. At a time when twenty percent of children and adolescents in the United States have diagnosable mental health problems, yet 75 to 80 percent of those so afflicted do not receive appropriate psychiatric care, the DSM-IV-TR® Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health constitutes a necessary and long overdue resource.

Adolescence ; Adolescents - Psychopathologie - Diagnostic ; Enfants - Développement ; Enfants - Psychopathologie - Diagnostic

This important volume brings together leading child psychiatry researchers to critically review the current diagnostic system and work toward new, more clinically useful ways of understanding childhood problems. The authors examine how existing diagnostic categories as embodied in the DSM-IV do not adequately account for the interplay between maladaptive behavior on the one hand, and children's environmental contexts, relationships, and developmental needs on the other. Drawing on the latest findings from neurobiological and evolutionary research, the book offers fresh perspectives on the nature, causes, assessment, and treatment of a range of prevalent disorders. The concluding chapter offers specific, cogent suggestions for improving the forthcoming DSM-V.
