Description

This is the first in a new series in child and adolescent psychiatry, looking at aspects of developmental psychopathology.

Each volume will concentrate on those topics where the growth of knowledge has had the greatest impact on clinical practice and on the treatment and understanding of mental illness.

This volume provides an account of the nature and characteristics of depression in children and adolescents.

Experts in the field provide a unique approach through discussion of the historical development of the concept and provide a synthesis of existing knowledge on the normal development of emotion in young children and the onset of depression in the older child.

With equal attention being given to both theory and practice, this volume is certain to appeal widely to child psychiatrists and psychologists, developmental psychologists and related professionals in developmental science and mental health including neuroscientists.
