Recensioner i media

"A must for all parents. [It] will help parents understand what their child is going through and whether they may need extra support." Children and Young People Now "Two child psychiatrists bring together the contributions of 30 professionals in an eminently practical guide to the emotional development of children and adolescents. With necessarily short chapters on common anxieties, from depression and eating disorders to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, there is a wealth of information on support agencies and further reading. An excellent first point of reference for parents and teachers." Good Book Guide
