Rutter’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 

Rutter’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is the leading textbook in its field.

Both interdisciplinary and international, it provides a coherent appraisal of the current state of the field to help researchers, trainees and practicing clinicians in their daily work. Integrating science and clinical practice, it is a comprehensive reference for all aspects of child and adolescent psychiatry.

New to this full color edition are expanded coverage on classification, including the newly revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and new chapters on systems neuroscience, relationship-based treatments, resilience, global psychiatry, and infant mental health.

From an international team of expert editors and contributors, this sixth edition is essential reading for all professionals working and learning in the fields of child and adolescent mental health and developmental psychopathology as well as for clinicians working in primary care and pediatric settings.

Michael Rutter has contributed a number of new chapters and a Foreword for this edition: ‘I greatly welcome this new edition as providing both a continuity with the past and a substantial new look.’
–Professor Sir Michael Rutter, extract from Foreword.

Reviews of previous editions:

‘This book is by far the best textbook of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry written to date.’
–Dr Judith Rapoport, NIH

‘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, comprehensive, informative and very useful textbook. To my mind this is the best book of its kind available today.’
–Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
