Clinical management of behavior disorders in children

Description:

This book, written by two pediatricians, owes and acknowledges a debt to their psychiatric colleagues. Nevertheless, it is written for all who have the ordinary day-to-day care of emotionally disturbed children. The authors' state their aim as seeking 'to bring together from many sources, and from the clinical experience of the authors, the best available information on the psychologic aspects of child care'. In large part the book summarizes works by others, so it is essentially an enormously useful reference work for any worker in this field who wants to know what work has been done, when, where and by whom. While it may not satisfy those who wish to discover a deeper cause for the many manifestations of psychosomatic disorder in childhood, it avoids extreme didactic certainty and method, and paves the way for wider reading.
