Already a foundational resource in the field, this updated third edition acknowledges the changes and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes an expanded chapter on telehealth and also discusses e-mental health options that support primary care providers, who are often the front line in mental health treatment. Two new chapters on pediatric consultation liaison psychiatry examine the history, clinical practice models, scope of interventions, and pharmacological considerations that are relevant to treatment of medically ill children and those seen in primary care—more important than ever, with the significant increase in the number of children with mental health care needs who are seen by pediatricians.
