Summary:

Health professionals, following their training, still need to keep abreast with developments in their respective fields. This helps them to evolve enabling them to offer good quality care to the children and families in their care. This has become important in the present climate of clinical governance and its emphasis on evidence-based practice. This publication is targeted not only at professionals in the mental health services, but also at paediatricians, educational psychologists and school medical officers.
