Interviewing Children and Adolescents: Skills and Strategies for Effective DSM-5® Diagnosis

I​ am using this book for my NP program. Very useful, good info, interesting read, great ideas for my papers.

Better than described!

Therapy

This book is about diagnosing children and adolescents, not interviewing them for therapeutic purposes. Unlike Morrison's book, "The First Interview," which is about conversing with clients as a means of devising clinical interventions, this book is purely diagnosis.Guilford, the publisher, sells the titles for much less, directly from their website. And, free shipping.

Book came in great shape and has been really helpful for my class.

Great book! Really helped to prepare me for assessing children.

!!!! Very good deal.

In Psych NP school and used to working with adults. First time working with children was difficult for me. My preceptor kept telling me that they are just little people but that didn’t help me. After my practicum was over I found this book. Wish I had found it sooner as it really provides insight into interviewing children/adolescents and made me feel less incompetent as it discusses that being able to work with adults does not easily translate into being able to work children. Whew!!! Relief! Thought it was just me. Great read. Great find. Will be ready for those 80 children/adolescents two semesters from now.

Not as clear and luvid as the previous edition.Appears to be a rushed job.As an experienced consultant for over 30 years am recommending it to trainees as a reasonable starting point in interviewing children and families.
