CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS

Nationally, there has been a groundswell of interest in adolescent mental health disorders. There is a definite need for a great text on this topic. So it is wonderful to find the Annenberg Foundation Trust bringing together leaders in the field to produce a remarkable resource for all who treat adolescents, as well as those who help shape adolescent mental health policy. The authors describe what treatments work, and what preventive strategies hold promise. They define the relevant research questions for the future of the field. This book represents a significant accomplishment and should be read by all who study the mental health of adolescents.

The book won praise in a review published by the New England Journal of Medicine. "It is a clear and well-written book that should provide an evidence-based approach to the thoughtful care of adolescents," wrote reviewer Dr. Harsh K. Trivedi of Children's Hospital Boston, "and it should be a ready reference on the shelf of any physician caring for adolescents."
