Main description:

Study Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is a question-and-answer companion that allows you to evaluate your mastery of the subject matter as you progress through Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Third Edition. The Study Guide is made up of approximately 295 questions divided into 49 individual quizzes of 5-8 questions each that correspond to chapters in the textbook. Questions are followed by an answer guide that references relevant text (including page numbers) in the textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a brief discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct.

The Study Guide's companion, Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Third Edition, provides practitioners the depth and breadth of knowledge covering topics including neurodevelopmental and other psychiatric disorders and disorders affecting somatic function; multiple approaches to psychosocial treatments; the principles of pediatric psychopharmacology and use of the medications; and special topics, including cultural and religious considerations, youth suicide, legal and ethical issues, and gender and sexual diversity.
