Anyone working with children and young people will find themselves fromtime to time dealing with those who are troubled, troublesome orboth.
This book is written for psychiatrists in training; doctors assessingand treating those young people who are in the greatest difficultiesbecause of their behaviour or emotional life.
As one would expect in a book written for doctors, the focus is onsymptoms and diagnosis. The "medical model" is very much in evidence.The authors have less to say about young people in difficultpredicaments, although there is a useful chapter on children who havesuffered from maltreatment.
There is also rather little about children who have suffered divorce orseparation of their parents, or about young people from ethnicminorities.
