Review
"This excellent text offers logical, precise technical support for diagnosing mental health problems in children and adolescents, while at the same time capturing the spontaneity and freshness of real-life young people. Each chapter is anchored by a vivid portrait of a troubled child or teenager struggling with the problems characteristic of the DSM-IV diagnosis being discussed. The reader is provided with a concise yet thorough account of diagnostic criteria, exclusion criteria, and differential diagnosis considerations. Well-organized tables facilitate the task of differential diagnosis by summarizing complex information at a glance." --Carl Feinstein, MD, Director of Clinical Studies, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine
"This volume bridges here-and-now clinical observation and current theoretical models. Specific questions are offered to help students and clinicians know what to look for in describing children and adolescents. The book describes interviews for different developmental levels, using narrative dialogue to illustrate how a question (e.g., 'does she speak words yet?') is linked to developmental expectations (e.g., for having and using language). Specific mental disorders are discussed, with interview examples for each. Throughout, tables and sidebars help organize complicated information and focus the reader's attention. This will be a welcome addition to the library of clinicians beginning to work with children." --Penelope Knapp, MD, Medical Director, California State Department of Mental Health
"This is a rare example of amasterful text that is also a good read. It contains a wealth of information and clinical pearls, all presented in a practical and clinically relevant form. This volume's sensible descriptions of developmentally appropriate interviewing techniques and the diagnostic process will be of interest to trainees in all the mental health disciplines." --Gregory K. Fritz, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Rhode Island Hospital
"This well-written text should be on the shelf of every student who is learning to practice child, adolescent, and family mental health. It is clear, concise, and well-written, and can be used with students and clinicians in nursing, psychology, and social work, as well as psychiatry....A wonderful guide." --Shirley M. H. Hanson, RN, PhD, LMFT, School of Nursing, Oregon Health Sciences University
"This book serves as an excellent resource within the assessment and consultation training sequence of our program. Graduate students in school, clinical, and counseling psychology are likely to benefit from the practical and clinical relevance of this text." --John S. Carlson, PhD, School Psychology Program, Michigan State University

As each one has taken an opportunity to look at it, they have each decided that this is a necessary addition to their reference library. I would highly recommend this to anyone that will be working with children as it provides some great insights and suggestions for getting the best out of any interview situation.
