From: Journal of Child Psychiatry (USA May 1986) The Editors and the authors are to be congratulated for providing us with such a high standard for a textbook on modern child psychiatry. I strongly recommend this book to every child psychiatrist who wants a reliable, up-to-date, comprhensive, informative and very useful textbook. To my mind, this is the best book of it’s kind. From: JAMA (USA August 1985) It is impossible to find fault with it. I am certain that it will become a mandatory acquisition for any serious student of developmental psychopathology and child and adolescent psychiatry.
