Is it school refusal or separation anxiety disorder? Can preschoolers have panic attacks? Does food neophobia really exist? For readers seeking ways to improve assessment, case conceptualization, or treatment plans as well as a more general understanding of anxiety disorders among children, the Handbook of Child and Adolescent Anxiety Disorders addresses these and many other complex issues. A straightforward companion to the diagnostic manuals, this volume crosses theoretical boundaries to describe in depth the wide range of children’s anxiety disorders and to explain the developmental nuances that separate them from their adult analogues. Provides a comprehensive text with the latest information on treatment, assessment, treatment augmentation, and basic science. Addresses comorbid and complicating factors in treating children and adolescents with anxiety disorders. Discusses cutting-edge controversies in the field of anxiety disorders, suchas the placement of OCD in the DSM-V and novel augmentation approaches to behavioral therapy. INDICE: Dedication.
