Both general and child/adolescent psychiatrists will find the third edition of this book valuable in preparing for their re-certification exams. The last ten years have brought tremendous changes to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. The revision of this book incorporates recent information from AACAP’s Practice Parameters, and review questions and references have also been updated. Hendren has reviewed every question, answer, and explanation to ensure coverage of the major advances in the classification of child and adolescent disorders represented in the DSM-IV.
