Treating and Preventing Adolescent Mental Health Disorders: What We Know and What We Don't Know

<"[T]he contributors have skillfully summarized and synthesized a vast amount of information, provided an evenhanded evaluation of existing research, and made sound suggestions for future research.> (PsycCRITIQUES)

<"[This book] provides an excellent evidence-based review of each of the topics and manages to weave in clinically important findings that help to keep the information both practical and tangible to the clinician. The review of the data on how to define each disorder, how to treat it, and how to prevent it make the book one that must be read by anyone involved in the routine care of adolescents. It is a clear and well-written book that should provide an evidence-based approach to the thoughtful care of adolescents, and it should be a ready reference on the shelf of any physician caring for adolescents.> (New England Journal of Medicine)

<"[T]he major objectives of this work . . . have been superbly accomplished. This volume is a solid, meticulous, carefully written integration of our knowledge about adolescent mental health disorders and a proposal for future work in this area. It should be read by all those interested in adolescent mental health and mental disorders, especially child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists, but also by policy makers.> (American Journal of Psychiatry)

<"This volume is extraordinarily valuable in synthesizing a great deal of information based predominantly on such tightly controlled studies.> (JAMA)

<"I know I am going to use it often for a variety of different reasons: to learn and to teach from and to use for advocacy. . . . As we interface with our legislators and those who set policy for our country they must hear our voices loud and clear. To a large extent this volume gives us the voice to articulate and help set that agenda.>"-Psychological Medicine

<"This excellent textbook should be read by all those working with adolescents presenting with psychiatric disorders in either a clinical or research capacity. In particular, I would recommend that it is included on the CAPSAC recommended bench book list for Specialist Registrars in CAMHS and become an important reference book in psychiatric libraries.>"-Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry

<"This is an extremely useful tool for all mental health professionals.>"-Doody's
