Summary:

This book uses actual interviews with children to show readers how to apply a developmental, biopsychosocial framework for understanding the inner lives of children at different ages and stages. It outlines proven techniques for helping infants and children to reveal their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors during the clinical interview. Finally, it shows readers how to organize and interpret the interview data by constructing a developmental profile and translating it into DSM-IV-TR diagnostic categories.
