DSM-5-TR® Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health

An incredibly useful evidence-based, consensus-driven framework for diagnosing mental illness in individuals. A pragmatic translation of DSM-5-TR to clinical practice to provide the most effective treatment. The diagnostic interview remains the focus of this volume, but the information has been updated to reflect the changes in DSM-5-TR.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) provides an incredibly useful evidence-based, consensus-driven framework for diagnosing mental illness in individuals. When working with children and adolescents, it is insufficient to match the exhibited mental distress to a classification in DSM-5-TR; great care must be given to understanding the cultural, family, gender/sex, and other factors impacting a child’s mental health today. That is what makes the DSM-5-TR® Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health so necessary: it serves as a pragmatic translation of DSM-5-TR to clinical practice to provide the most effective treatment. The diagnostic interview remains the focus of this volume, but the information has been updated to reflect the changes in DSM-5-TR. Readers of all skill levels and experience will find practical guidance for 15-, 30-, and 45-minute versions of the interview. The medication tables have also been updated to reflect current evidence. The book also features new sections with chapters describing:

• Developing a therapeutic alliance
• Meeting a young person experiencing mental distress
• Crisis care for a young person
• Positive psychology interviews
• • 
    Drawing on a decade of clinical research and community practice, this pocket guide offers a person-centered approach to care that is relevant in multiple settings—which is particularly useful when considering that young people are more likely to receive an initial mental health diagnosis and treatment in a non–behavioral health setting. With short, easily referenced chapters and immediately actionable information, the DSM-5-TR® Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health is an indispensable companion for the student, trainee, and seasoned clinician alike.
