Dulcans Textbook Of Child And Adolescent Psychiatry 3Ed (Hb 2022)

This latest edition of Dulcan’s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry continues to cement the Textbook’s position as one of the leading resources for not only child and adolescent psychiatrists but all those in the mental health and medical fields who work with children, adolescents and their families with mental health challenges. The new edition brings the present edition up-to-date but also adds some relevant expansions related to telehealth, e-mental health, and pediatric consultation liaison psychiatry. Treatments, both psychosocial and pharmacological, are discussed in depth as well as integrated into chapters devoted to diagnostic groups. I particularly like the summary points at the end of each chapter which focus the reader on specifics of what to explore for more detailed information. The book continues to be an exhaustive resource, totally readable and accessible, one that should be in all of our libraries for quick reference or detailed exploration, whichever is indicated. –Sandra Sexson, M.D., DFAACAP, DFAPA, FACPSYCH, Professor and Chief, Child, Adolescent and Family Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior, Medical College of Georgia

Mina Dulcan has succeeded in editing an outstanding third edition of Dulcan’s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, demonstrating why this text is foundational for child and adolescent psychiatrists and other pediatric mental health professionals. This new edition is concise, current, comprehensive, and easy to use, providing the practical and actionable guidance that clinicians need when treating children and families. The state-of-the art reviews by thought leaders in the field give the clinician the cutting-edge approaches needed to provide evidence-based care, while at the same time providing references that support the science. The new text has expanded on the use of evidence-based rating scales, telehealth utilization and practice, and emerging technologies to give clinicians and educators the tools and knowledge that are required to manage the increasing complexity of mental health service provisions and requirements for measurement-based practice. Dr. Dulcan has identified the most relevant issues for child psychiatry in the increasingly complex health care environment, and chapter authors provide clear guidance needed to advance practice. This is an invaluable resource for child and adolescent psychiatry practice―especially now in our rapidly changing mental health care environment. –Tami D. Benton, M.D., Fredrick Allen Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

Updated to account for the latest research and advances in the field, this third edition of Dulcan’s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reinforces its status as an indispensable resource for clinicians working with young patients and their families.

An expanded chapter on telehealth features insights on e-mental health options that support both mental health clinicians and primary care providers. Two completely new chapters on pediatric consultation liaison psychiatry provide clinical guidance in treating medically ill children and those seen in primary care.

Readers will find all of the in-depth, DSM-5-aligned evidence-based clinical guidance they have come to expect from Dulcan’s Textbook in such areas as neurodevelopmental and other psychiatric disorders and disorders affecting somatic function; multiple approaches to psychosocial treatments; the principles of pediatric psychopharmacology and use of the medications; and special topics, including cultural and religious considerations, youth suicide, legal and ethical issues, and gender and sexual diversity.

With summary points for each chapter, a wealth of references, and a reader-friendly layout, this new edition of Dulcan’s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry offers clinicians the information they need to keep up to date and practice more effectively.
