This revised edition focuses on contemporary perspectives on the assessment of childhood psychological disorders and also covers best practices and state of the art approaches to the evaluation of the disorders. The editors gather together contributions from prominent authorities who present evidence-based approaches that can be used in planning, implementing, and evaluating real-world clinical services across an array of child and adolescent mental health problems and risks. Coverage includes: behaviour disorders, mood disorders and suicide risk, anxiety disorders, developmental disorders, children at risk of maltreatment, and adolescent problems. The book emphasises the need to evaluate clients' strengths as well as their deficits, and to take into account the developmental, biological, familial, and cultural contexts of problem behaviour.
