Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health by Edilma L Yearwood

Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health by Edilma L Yearwood

As an increasing number of children and adolescents with psychiatric symptoms go unrecognized in our current healthcare system, the ability to identify and treat these issues in multiple healthcare settings has become vitally important. With access to primary care providers increasing and a shortage of child psychiatric providers, collaboration between psychiatric, pediatric and family advanced practice nurses is essential to improving care for this vulnerable population. Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health provides a practical reference to aid in this endeavour. Written and reviewed by over 70 nurse experts, it is a must-have reference for all practitioners caring for children and adolescents.

Overall, this is a book I will consult when I need authoritative advice on specific diagnoses and definitions of disordersIt is also one I will use when writing an assignment, because I know I can trust the quality of writing and referencing. (Nursing Children and Young People, 1 September 2012)
