"4 Stars!.... This book is remarkable in a number of ways." (Doody's Book Review)

“Each chapter in itself is an enjoyment…warmly recommended…” (International Journal of Adolescent Medical Health, Vol. 16, No. 3 2004)

"...specialist clinician will find much to agree with here, but more importantly, some material that may extend ... specialist’s professional horizons." (The Journal of Mental Health, April 2006)

“This handbook, edited and written by leading experts, is unique in several respects: It puts mental health interventions in young people into a developmental context and bridges the gap between interventions in major domains such as pharmacology, psychotherapy, and sociotherapy. It gives proper advice and clear orientation and should be read by everyone who treats children and adolescents.”
--Helmut Remschmidt, M.D., professor of child and adolescent psychiatry, Philipps-University, Marburg (Germany), and president, International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions

“Hans Steiner has assembled the leading figures in the field of developmental sciences and child and adolescent psychiatry in this superb new volume. The comprehensiveness of scope and the scholarship of the contributions will make this the definitive book on treatments in child and adolescent psychiatry.”
--Glen O. Gabbard, Brown Foundation Chair of Psychoanalysis, and professor, Department of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine

“At last, a comprehensive psychiatric text based on biopsychosocial development and goal-directed treatment processes rather than reductionist diagnostic categories. This is the first wave of the future.”
--Barry Nurcombe, M. D., emeritus professor of child and adolescent psychiatry, Vanderbilt University and the University of Queensland

“The psychiatric treatment of children and adolescents is rapidly evolving into a scientifically based, diverse array of interventions. This unique volume does justice to the state of the field without sacrificing any of the complexities we encounter in treating young patients. I have no doubt that it will become a standard in the field of developmental psychiatry.”
--Alan F. Schatzberg, M. D., Kenneth T. Norris, Jr., professor and chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine

“Mindless polypharmacy is a threat to our field—our patients and trainees deserve better. This volume presents an integrated view of available interventions. I am certain that it will become a valuable resource for any serious student of development psychopathology and child and adolescent psychiatry.”
--James F. Leckman, M.D., Neison Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Psychology, director of research, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine
