Author Description

Due to the release of two major textbooks in child & adolescent psychiatry in the last three years, Dr. Hendren felt the findings from these books, particularly in biologic psychiatry, should be included in his new edition of this book. For this revised & updated second edition, Dr. Hendren has reviewed every question, answer, & explanation to ensure coverage of the major advances in the classification of child & adolescent disorders represented in the DSM-IV. Some questions not only reflect this move into biologic psychiatry but also into managed care in the field.
