Drawing on a decade of clinical research and community practice, the DSM-5-TR Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health serves as a pragmatic translation of DSM-5-TR to working with children and adolescents. Taking a person-centered approach that is relevant to work in multiple settings, it offers practical guidance for carrying out 15-, 30-, and 45-minute diagnostic interviews.

With medication tables updated to reflect the current evidence base, this volume also includes new sections with chapters on developing a therapeutic alliance, meeting a young person experiencing mental distress, offering crisis care for a young person, positive psychology interviews, and more.

With short chapters rich in actionable information, this is an indispensable on-the-go resource for students, trainers, and seasoned practitioners alike.
