About this title

Review:

"Originally printed in 1991, the guide is now in its third edition. Following the accelerated pace of new research in child and adolescent psychiatry, the contents have been updated, and now relevant data have been incorporated into the text. Every effort has been made to include information that is as comprehensive as possible while maintaining the simplicity and brevity intended by the design of the book."-- "Ayesha Mian, M.D. and Cynthia W. Santos, M.D., Journal of Clinical Psychiatry", "June 2005"
