The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) provides an evidence-based and consensus-driven framework for accurately diagnosing mental illness in children and adolescents. In today’s complex world, simply matching exhibited mental distress to a classification in the DSM-5-TR is insufficient. It is essential to consider cultural, familial, gender, and other factors that significantly impact a child’s mental health.
This is where the DSM-5-TR Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health becomes indispensable. This guide pragmatically translates the DSM-5-TR into clinical practice, ensuring that practitioners can provide the most effective treatment for young patients. The diagnostic interview remains the focal point of this volume, with updated information that reflects the latest changes in the DSM-5-TR.
Designed for readers of all skill levels, this pocket guide offers:
-
- Clear and practical guidance for conducting 15-, 30-, and 45-minute diagnostic interviews.
- Updated medication tables reflecting the most current evidence and best practices.
- New chapters covering essential topics such as:
- Developing a therapeutic alliance
- Meeting a young person experiencing mental distress
- Crisis care for young individuals
- Positive psychology interviews
