Sponsored by the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania and the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands Trust, the third edition of Treating and Preventing Adolescent Mental Health Disorders provides a significant update since the second edition in 2017. It addresses the current state of knowledge about the major mental health disorders that emerge during adolescence, including how the COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescent mental health. Here, experts on adolescent anxiety, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, depression and bipolar disorders, eating disorders, and suicidal behavior thoroughly define each disorder, outline and assess available treatments, discuss prevention strategies, and suggest a research agenda based on what we know and don't yet know about these various conditions. The volume also incorporates chapters on gambling, Internet addiction, and positive youth development, which addresses how we can fully prepare young people to be happy and successful throughout their lives. Concluding chapters discuss overarching issues regarding the behavioral and mental health of adolescents, including overcoming the stigma of mental illness and the research, policy, and practice context for the delivery of evidence-based treatments. Integrating the work of eminent scholars in both psychology and psychiatry, this work will be an essential volume for academics and practicing clinicians and will serve as a wake-up call to mental health professionals and policy makers alike about the state of our nation's response to the needs of adolescents with mental disorders.
[T]he contributors have skillfully summarized and synthesized a vast amount of information, provided an evenhanded evaluation of existing research, and made sound suggestions for future research." * PsycCRITIQUES *
[This book] provides an excellent evidence-based review of each of the topics and manages to weave in clinically important findings that help to keep the information both practical and tangible to the clinician. The review of the data on how to define each disorder, how to treat it, and how to prevent it make the book one that must be read by anyone involved in the routine care of adolescents. It is a clear and well-written book that should provide an evidence-based approach to the thoughtful care of adolescents, and it should be a ready reference on the shelf of any physician caring for adolescents." * New England Journal of Medicine *
[T]he major objectives of this work . . . have been superbly accomplished. This volume is a solid, meticulous, carefully written integration of our knowledge about adolescent mental health disorders and a proposal for future work in this area. It should be read by all those interested in adolescent mental health and mental disorders, especially child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists, but also by policy makers." * American Journal of Psychiatry *
This volume is extraordinarily valuable in synthesizing a great deal of information based predominantly on such tightly controlled studies." * JAMA *
I know I am going to use it often for a variety of different reasons: to learn and to teach from and to use for advocacy. . . . As we interface with our legislators and those who set policy for our country they must hear our voices loud and clear. To a large extent this volume gives us the voice to articulate and help set that agenda."-Psychological Medicine
This excellent textbook should be read by all those working with adolescents presenting with psychiatric disorders in either a clinical or research capacity. In particular, I would recommend that it is included on the CAPSAC recommended bench book list for Specialist Registrars in CAMHS and become an important reference book in psychiatric libraries."-Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
This is an extremely useful tool for all mental health professionals."-Doody's
