Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

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.
