Depression in Childhood and Adolescence: A Guide for Practitioners fills a gap in the literature by providing practitioners with a ""go to"" resource for understanding, assessing, and treating youth depression. All in one source, practitioners will find easy-to-follow and clearly worded coverage of diagnosis, bio psychosocial conceptualization, assessment, and treatment, as well as special topics including gender and developmental differences, suicidality, and the use of antidepressant medication in treatment. Cutting-edge information is supplemented with illustrative case studies designed to bring key points to life. This volume is an excellent resource for practitioners and trainees across a variety of fields including child/adolescent psychology and psychiatry, developmental psychology, clinical social work, and school psychology.
