with Wiley Desktop Edition
This ground-breaking book takes a new approach to the assessment
of behaviour in children and adolescents. Written by an expert
author team, combining one (Jonathan Williams) with higher
qualifications in general practice, child neuropsychiatry, and
child and adolescent psychiatry, with one (Peter Hill) with higher
qualifications in medicine, paediatrics and child and adolescent
psychiatry, the book draws on many thousands of multidisciplinary
case discussions, at Great Ormond Street Hospital, in the
Children's Multispecialty Assessment Clinic in North London,
and in private practice.
The book is ideal for the busy mental health professional
working in a small team. Organised to allow rapid look-up of
behaviours with comprehensive lists of their possible causes, it
synthesizes research evidence and clinical experience. The authors
interpret behaviour broadly, including not just voluntary
actions, but also actions whose voluntary nature is questionable
(such as drop attacks, personal preferences, and pseudobehaviours).
They also include problems that lead to referral through their
behavioural manifestations (e.g. aggression, anxiety, or a poor
relationship with mother). Overall, the book spans the behavioural,
cognitive, social and emotional problems of children and
adolescents.
With the child and family in the room, and with detailed school
reports and psychometric results available, it is usually possible
to identify causes of symptoms that are specific to the child and
his environment, and which can guide behavioural, cognitive,
social, and family interventions.
Purchasers of the book will also be entitled to a Wiley Desktop
Edition--an interactive digital version featuring downloadable
text and images, highlighting and note taking facilities, in-text
searching, and linking to references and glossary terms.

"The addition of the Wiley Desktop edition is an excellent
way of making the handbook more portable and accessible. The
functionality works on a variety of computers, tablets and phones
and this makes this handbook all the more appealing to the modern
clinician." (Child & Adolescent Mental
Health, 1 August 2013)
"This is a very good resource for professionals working in
child and adolescent psychiatry. It provides a very thorough and
well-organized guide for the assessment of patients with a wide
range of complaints . . . The
book offers a unique method to reach an accurate diagnosis,
amenable to interventions from a biopsychosocial
perspective." (Doody's, 1 February
2013)
"Overall, this is a fantastic resource for anyone that assesses
behaviour in children and adolescents. It is comprehensive and
covers an amazing variety of topics in an easy to understand,
concise way. This is a handbook that covers the depth and breadth
of information that is normally reserved for textbooks and
encyclopaedias. A clearly well researched and thought through book
that would be valuable on the bookshelf or computer of any health
professionals that work with children (the review copy has already
been borrowed by colleagues and purchased as a leaving present). In
particular the handbook would be relevant for child and adolescent
psychiatrists, clinical and educational psychologists,
paediatricians and CAMHS professionals both working long-term
within the field or whilst still in training. The addition of the
Wiley Desktop edition is an excellent way of making the handbook
more portable and accessible in any setting. The functionality
works on a variety of computers, tablets and phones and this makes
this handbook all the more appealing to the modern
clinician."(Dr Mark Lovell, Consultant Child and Adolescent
Learning Disability Psychiatrist, South Tees LDCAMHS, Tees,
Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust)
"A comprehensive and wide ranging book, exploring
children's behaviours from the routine to the quirky, set
within a sound developmental framework. The layout with excellent
cross-referencing and explanations is accessible and will be of
interest to many clinicians working with children, young people and
their families." (Caryn Onions, Psychotherapist, Oxford,
UK)
"This is an incredibly useful book. It has a comprehensive list
of presentations that frequently leave clinicians wondering what is
going on. Beneath each entry lies a treasure trove of
sophisticated, up to date evidence about conditions, blended with
astute clinical wisdom." (Professor Stephen Scott, Professor of
Child Health and Behaviour, Institute of Psychiatry,
London)
