Product Description

Review

"The concept that a child could have a serious or chronic mental illness has always been difficult for health and mental health professionals to accept or understand. With autistic children, it is not possible to deny the seriousness of the disorder. For other psychotic children, those who look normal and in many ways act normal, it may be difficult to see the child as psychotic or to accept the seriousness of the disorder. Cantor addresses these children. She reviews the literature--a literature that reflects this ambivalence--and then presents her clinical concepts and approaches to treatment for childhood schizophrenia, based on a review of other clinicians' work and on her clinical and research experiences. Perhaps the greatest value of her book is that Cantor forces us to think clearly about this serious and chronic childhood disorder." --Larry B. Silver, MD
"Cantor has written a book on childhood schizophrenia that is personal, sensitive, and humane, and at the same time a scholarly history, a careful report on research, a trenchant evaluation of the work already done in this difficult field, and a brief guide to the treatment and management of this profoundly disorganizing condition....With the help of Cantor's findings, it may now be possible to achieve more precise diagnosis at a much earlier age and hence to institute earlier treatment....[This is an] authoritative and immensely useful book that should be on the shelf of every child mental health practitioner." --Joseph D. Noshpitz, MD
