Reviewer: Amer Smajkic, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This book provides a comprehensive review of the current state of care, treatment, and prevention in child and adolescent mental health from multidisciplinary and transcultural perspectives. The book draws on the systems of care and intervention with special attention to different cultural settings.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an all-inclusive book that organizes and advances information from systems of care, services, and interventions in selected parts of the world. These areas are described by experts with a focus on the current status of services in the respective parts of the world, the major needs and deficits, identifying mental health problems in children and adolescents, and the major needs in treatment.
Audience: Audiences targeted in this book are mental health workers providing services to children and adolescents. The book is valuable for psychologists, counselors, individual therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, and medical students.
Features: The book outlines care, treatment, and prevention with realistic proposals on how to improve the situation of children and adolescents who suffer from mental illness or are at risk for mental health problems. The major principles and strategies of treatment and intervention are described, on an empirical basis, using a selected number of treatment approaches and treatment settings as examples. Finally, the possibilities, strategies, and limitations of early detection and prevention are reviewed with the aim of improving the living conditions of children and families in need of mental health support. The book takes the reader step-by-step from the systems of care and services to the treatment and prevention/early detection. It includes some illustrations and tables. References are up-to-date and voluminous.
Assessment: This is a good, functional book for clinician and mental health workers. It is written in clear and structured manner. It brings together rather complicated approaches in a simple style. Although the book may look small, it does emphasize all the important issues in the systems of care, treatment intervention and prevention with early detection. It also places a special emphasis on community mental health and its implications in child psychiatry.
