Descrizione DSM-5¿ Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Designed for interviewers at all levels of experience and in a variety of specialties, The DSM-5(R) Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health helps clinicians use DSM-5 in diagnostic interviews and initial treatment planning for children and adolescents. Assessment in this population requires special skills and considerations because the patient must be evaluated in the context of the family and community. This thoughtful yet practical guide does not replace DSM-5 but acts as a companion and reference, translating the DSM-5 framework and explaining how to employ the criteria as part of a diagnostic interview. The book builds on the best-selling The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5(R) Diagnostic Exam by providing diagnostic interviews of different lengths and tailoring all questions specifically for children and adolescents while introducing multiple tools for treatment planning and advice for initial psychosocial, psychoeducational, psychotherapeutic, and psychopharmacological treatments.
