Reviews
This comprehensive text provides a most welcome overview of psychosis and psychotic conditions in children and adolescents. With its strong focus on clinical practice this volume summarizes aspects of assessment, psychiatric examination and differential diagnosis. The chapters on treatment are similarly well conceptualized and will help both beginning clinicians and more advanced clinicians interested in expanding their experience. This volume will be of great interest to clinicians who work with children and adolescents with severe mental disorders. - Fred R. Volkmar, Yale University School of Medicine, Connecticut, USA Cepeda succeeds in maintaining a clear focus on clinical relevance in his discussions of the multiple facets of psychotic symptoms and provides plentiful references for readers seeking more systematic reviews of various topics. Psychiatrists as well as mental health clinicians in other disciplines will find this book an excellent place to turn when seeking help in determining whether the symptoms of a child or adolescent patient may have crossed the line from reality into psychosis and what to do about it. In its steadfast insistence on the care of the whole patient from symptom to side effect, this single-authored volume convincingly demonstrates the role of psychiatry as an integrative medical specialty. - A. Reese Abright, in Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, USA
