This volume contains information on assessing, diagnosing and treatment planning for the range of psychiatric and psychologic problems children and adolescents may experience during their development. It includes in-depth coverage of these issues and also includes "decision trees" for some topics, which are brief flowcharts for practitioners to follow when assessing patients for suspected problems.
