DSM-5-TR® Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health (EPUB)

By M.D. Cathryn A. Galanter, M.D. Peter S. Jensen
 
In the United States, approximately 20% of children face diagnosable mental health issues—a challenge exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. When one considers that 50% of those children do not receive mental health care, a clear need exists to bridge the gap between research and practical application. The DSM-5-TR Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health has been written to help clinicians navigate the complexities of mental disorders in children. The book is designed to be an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including mental health counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians.
Updated to reflect DSM-5-TR and advances in the assessment and treatment of child mental health, this volume features 28 expert-authored case studies, including classic cases such as ADHD and major depressive disorder as well as more acute conditions such as nonsuicidal self-harm or psychotic illness. Each case is accompanied by commentaries that offer diverse perspectives on treatment approaches, from the psychotherapeutic to the psychopharmacological.
With special attention given to cultural factors, including race and ethnic identity, and how they affect diagnosis and treatment, this volume is an invaluable resource for all those dedicated to improving the lives of young people facing mental health challenges.
