 "Review for boards" 2009-04-24
By Douglas W. Adams
One of the only decent Child and Adolescent reviews available for boards. Written in question/multiple choice format with adequate explanations and references.

 "actually helped a lot!" 2004-01-03
By Stephen A Zerby (Waltham, MA United States)
I just took the child board exam and this question-and-answer book actually helped a lot. The exam takes three days: half of one for the written exam, a 75 minute preschool/school age oral exam, and a 60 minute live adolescent oral exam. This book helps the most with the written exam. The questions are similar to the type on the real exam. Hendren provides questions in either multiple choice or K-type format, with some matching questions. These are followed by answers and brief explanations. The explanations are usually helpful, but there are some that are confusing or skimpy. I actually got frustrated with a few of them. The material is a little dated (little on atypicals and a lot on tricyclics). But overall you will learn a lot and be in full "question mode" during the exam. There are a couple sections at the end of the book to help prepare for the oral exams. The preschool/school age one is more pertinent, because there is a written vignette on the actual exam. Overall, this book is well worth the investment!

 "Very inaccurate" 2009-12-05
By Justin Reilly (Lafayette, CO)
Very inaccurate on ME (CFS). For example, it says ME is a functional somatic syndrome caused by depression and anxiety citing as proof that there is more psychiatric comorbidity in ME patients than healthy controls (p.638). This ignores, inter alia, the fact that the rates are no higher than for other disabling somatic diseases like MS or AIDS. It also recommends pushing the child back toward regular functioning which sometimes greatly increases morbidity. There are over 4,000 articles in peer reviewed medical journals showing frank biological pathology in ME. ME causes an enormous amount of morbidity and suffering. The propagation of falsehoods like these contribute to a huge amount of iatrogenic morbidity (and sometimes mortality) for people with ME.

Dulcan s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry supplants the previous textbook edited by Jerry Wiener and Mina Dulcan not with a new edition, but rather a new book. It offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive text in child and adolescent psychiatry as presented by more than 110 contributors, with 56 of the 65 chapters featuring new lead authors. Both the organization of the original text and the structure of the chapters have been overhauled to highlight what we now know about evidence-based practices in assessment and treatment, while preserving clinical wisdom.

Chapters on evaluation are developmentally focused, with a separate chapter for each age range. Eighteen chapters focus on specific disorders, while special topics include new chapters on bereavement and traumatic grief; ethnic, cultural, and religious issues; aggression and violence; children of ill parents; legal/ethical issues; and telepsychiatry. The text s wide-ranging emphasis on treatment expanded from seven to eighteen chapters includes psychopharmacology, brain-based innovative treatments, and a range of psychosocial approaches that focus on individual, family, therapeutic milieu, and systemic models of care. A new section on consultation provides guidance on interactions with schools, primary care practitioners, and the juvenile justice system.

Both scholarly and practical, Dulcan s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is a core resource for child and adolescent psychiatry training and will also serve as a reference for practitioners in psychiatry, pediatrics, neurology, psychology, nursing, and social work.

 "Excellent Review book; Except for developmental theories" 2009-05-30
By Multifaceted Lee (Miami, FL USA)
I am studying for my 10 year re-certification for the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Boards. This book gives a good concise review of all the different syndromes and treatments. It is full of facts that I can picture being put into a multiple choice question as I am reading. The only drawback is that it doesn't include stages of cognitive, physical, psychological, and moral development.
