What clinicians need to know about the emotional well-being of kids—now updated and revised.

With the number and variety of mental health issues affecting kids on the rise, and as more clinicians and counselors are pushed to the front lines of defense, there is an acute need for a comprehensive, practical resource that guides professionals through the complexities of child and adolescent mental health. This comprehensive book—now in its third edition—answers that call.

Fully revised and updated, Child & Adolescent Mental Health now includes chapters addressing mental health during a pandemic and gender dysphoria. Child and adolescent psychiatry expert Jess P. Shatkin distills three decades of clinical experience, research, and teaching into an effective guide that providers and trainees have kept within arm’s reach for the past fifteen years.
