Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is the ultimate child and adolescent psychiatry textbook and a must have for any district hospital or postgraduate library. For a hard pressed CAMHS team this book provides both the academic substrate and the clinical detail to be of real value in many everyday clinical scenarios."
M. A. Griffiths, Disease in Childhood 2003; 88:1139
M. A. Griffiths, Disease in Childhood 2003; 88:1139
From: Journal of Child Psychiatry (USA May 1986)
The Editors and the authors are to be congratulated for providing us with such a high standard for a textbook on modern child psychiatry. I strongly recommend this book to every child psychiatrist who wants a reliable, up-to-date, comprhensive, informative and very useful textbook. To my mind, this is the best book of it's kind.
From: JAMA (USA August 1985)
It is impossible to find fault with it. I am certain that it will become a mandatory acquisition for any serious student of developmental psychopathology and child and adolescent psychiatry.

Unscientific,
By
This review is from: Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Hardcover)
Unscientific with regard to ME/CFIDS. Uses studies authored by notorious charlatans like Chalder and based on ludicrous Oxford/Sharpe 1991 criteria. Over four thousand articles in peer reviewed medical journals show significant physical pathology in ME including association with two retroviruses.

A must-buy for any adolescent psychiatrist,
By Frustrated post-doc (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Hardcover)
This book is really great. Particularly the first 100 pages or so are nothing short of brilliant - recommended reading for just about anyone. When the book starts to go through disorder groups one by one, the texts become a bit more routine, and also the heterogeneity of writers starts to show more (whereas many are excellent, some of them are a bit uninspired, and can also lack depth). In any case, this is a 21st century book, firmly based on research evidence, and breath of fresh air among often musty theory-driven and heavily opinion-based older texts. Buy it, enjoy it and share it with others!
I bought my copy of this book from Foyles in London, not Amazon. There is indeed something wrong with the binding of the book. For such a heavy book, it feels very fragile, and from the very first time I opened it I have had to be really careful not to break it. This book also weighs several kilograms, and is quite difficult to handle. Please, dear publisher, fix this - it is not right that such an expensive and useful handbook is so badly bound. A CD-ROM with the full text of the book is supplied, and it's handy for quick keyword searches, but not a very comfortable way to read longer sections of this book.

Book is good, but shipping disappointed,
By
This review is from: Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Hardcover)
The textbook is really good, quite updated and comprehensive. Recommended for any child and adolescent psychiatrist.
However, as I specified before the way the book was shipped disappointed me. Because the outer hardcover was torn and bottom side of the book was crushed. I did not send back the book but I got a refund 15%. Sincerely
