About the Book

This practical handbook covers everything a practitioner needs to know about dealing with children and adolescents who present in an emergency department with mental health problems.

The book includes contributions from professionals across a range of disciplines: paediatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry, liaison psychiatry, emergency medicine, and social care. The authors clarify the roles and responsibilities of every professional involved in the care of young patients and their families in a very vulnerable and potentially frightening situation. The subjects covered include: Understanding child and adolescent mental health problems. Their social and developmental contexts. The management of common mental health problems in this age group. Carrying out balanced risk assessments. Liaison with social services and the role of other agencies. The legal context. Confidentiality and child protection. Diversity issues. ~ Highly Commended in the Psychiatry category of the 2010 BMA Medical Book Awards. ~ Readership The book is intended for psychiatrists at all levels dealing with young people, paediatricians and emergency department clinicians, teachers and trainers, and the heads of department, managers and commissioners who work together to provide effective and efficient services to meet the needs of this under-served client group.

Review :
"The aim of this handbook is for 'practitioners at the front line in emergency departments to be better trained, more informed and better prepared'... I suspect the book will be most welcome to colleagues from accident and emergency departments, as dealing with young people must represent additional stress within already highly demanding work. The book also provides an overview of child and adolescent mental health that will be of interest to many child and adolescent psychiatrists. Despite my 10 years as a consultant in this field, I found that I was learning some useful new information or that things I half knew were being helpfully clarified...this handbook should definitely be read by all senior trainees in child and adolescent psychiatry and will be very useful to many others involved in this increasingly significant area of healthcare." British Journal of Psychiatry
