Summary:

Completely revised for its Second Edition, this text reviews common neurologic disorders and related conditions apt to be seen in a child psychiatry practice. It reviews their presentation, including psychiatric symptoms, and their evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. The text stresses the psychiatric comorbidities of these neurologic disorders and the psychiatric side-effects of neurologic medications.

Case presentations demonstrate thoughtful and effective diagnostic approaches to patients with symptoms that overlap pediatric neurology and psychiatry. Practice questions, which highlight important areas of the text, allow preparation for board certification and recertification examinations. To reinforce its educational value, this edition includes many illustrations and a glossary.
