| Abstract
|
:
|
"Dr. Faraone provides guidance on taking good care of your child's psychological health. Learning what's typical for kids of your child's age and how mental health practitioners distinguish between an everyday challenge of childhood, a passing phase, and a diagnosable illness will help you decide when - and how - to take the steps that can spare you and your child needless pain and frustration." "If you've decided to seek professional help, you'll want to know how to find the right person to diagnose and treat your child, what treatment will entail, and how to maximize the effectiveness of therapy or medication."--Jacket.
