Following the Practical Guide to Child Psychiatry in April 2022

This comprehensive book presents a complete panorama of therapeutic tools available in child psychiatry. The therapist has two essential and complementary missions: to propose or not propose a treatment plan during the clinical evaluation session, and to indicate a therapy based on the patient’s needs, disorder, and local treatment possibilities.

The Importance of Therapeutic Relationships in Child Psychiatry

After recalling the frameworks of psychotherapy, the book highlights the particularities of the therapeutic relationship in psychiatry, especially with babies, children, and adolescents, while taking into account the role of parents. It then details each therapy, whether individual or group, and according to the location (liberal, CMP, day hospital, or full-time hospitalization): the principles and objectives, necessary arrangements according to the patient’s age, indications, and contraindications, and the proven effectiveness of the proposed treatment plan.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Child Psychiatry

The book also includes a chapter on medication management, a delicate issue in young patients and often a subject of debate. This comprehensive guide is designed to help practitioners navigate the different therapeutic resources to propose the most adequate treatment plan for the patient and their family.

A Clear and Accessible Resource for Practitioners

Written in a clear and accessible language, based on the author’s experience and practice, this book provides arguments for clinicians to choose and explain the most appropriate therapy for the young patient. It is intended for all practitioners, including child psychiatrists, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, and students in these specialties.
