This is the first book where I have seen my name in it. Weirdly it was in a family tree showing the heritability of depression.

Not a bad book at all. But it’s so long and there’s so much repetative information. Interesting though!

A comprehensive handbook on the common disorders present in children and adolescents. It is formatted chronologically provided clear information on the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and aetiology for each condition.

Much but poorly structured, and repetitive information.
