The DSM-5-TR Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health has a singular aim: to help clinicians navigate the complexities of diagnosing and treating mental disorders in children and adolescents. Approximately 20% of children and adolescents in the United States have diagnosable mental health problems—an issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Of those children in need, 50% do not receive mental health care. Building on the 2017 DSM-5 edition, this guide helps bridge the gap between research and practical application. It incorporates updates and advances from DSM-5-TR as well as evidence-based assessment and treatment of children's mental health. The book is designed to be an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including mental health counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians.
