Interviewing Children and Adolescents Skills and Strategies for Effective DSM IV Diagnosis
Interviewing Children and Adolescents Skills and Strategies for Effective DSM IV Diagnosis
“This is an excellent resource for the novice clinician, and serves as an excellent review for those with more experience. It will be of particular use for trainees in children’s mental health, and for those who teach interviewing skills to undergraduate and postgraduate learners.”–Canadian Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Review
“Writing in a field that might be thought to be overworked, the authors offer something different. While the book is user friendly, it offers much of value to both novice and experienced clinician….This manual is a well-written refresher and update for seasoned clinicians and an excellent guide for all mental health professionals….the authors have clearly met their goal of providing a highly useful and timely addition to the professional literature on assessment and diagnosis. Worthy of particular mention is the reworking of DSM-IV diagnostic nomenclature into a child and adolescent format, organizing and simplifying what at times has been an unwieldy document for attempting to formulate child and adolescent diagnoses.”–Psychiatric Services

4 Stars Very Helpful
This book was very helpful. I work in a human services profession and working with children is very different from working with adults. This book clarifies the differences and uses examples to clarify its message.
5 Stars Very Useful!
This text is clear and easy to read. The information is pratical and useful. I like this book so much that I won’t sell it back when I’m done with my class.
