The significantly expanded fourth edition covers an increased number of disorders, as well as transdiagnostic issues and public health concerns. Evidence-based psychosocial, pharmacological, and complementary therapies are identified and described in well-organized chapters that include rich clinical illustrations. Prominent experts address developmental considerations in treatment and offer guidance for tailoring interventions to each child and family's needs.
