This text is clear and easy to read. The information is pratical and useful. I like this book so much that I won't sell it back when I'm done with my class.

This book is awesome for the student who is new to DSM-IV (revised). It is detailed and easier to read than the DSM. It's detail includes everything outlined in the DSM concerning child and adolescent mental issues. The title is deceiving though. It insinuates (IMO) that there are interviewing techniques. Interviewing techniques for kids is very scarce. But aside from this, this book is the easiest and most convenient text book I have read.

This book was very helpful. I work in a human services profession and working with children is very different from working with adults. This book clarifies the differences and uses examples to clarify its message.

This book is a great reference for therapists. Includes child-specific guidelines for accurate DSM diagnosis as well as sample interviews. Highly recommended!
