Born out of the author's 20 years' experience as a child psychiatrist in the US, this book aims to be a first stop for worried parents.I
ts message is that parents have the power to help their children, with or without professional input. From an aggressive toddler to a self-harming teenager, the author gives clear information about what might be happening, strategies to address the problem and good case studies.
It answers questions such as "How do I know if my child's behaviour and emotions are serious problems?", and "How do I tell whether medication is helping?". It explains normal development and why certain phases can be tricky for many children. It also has a comprehensive list of symptoms, and chapters on medication, psychotherapy and alternative therapies, tests and different professionals.
