"This present [7th] edition is succinct and clearly written... I recommend this text as a reference for medical students and residents in family medicine, pediatrics, and general psychiatry. It would also be a useful text on the shelf of a family doctor." Review comments on previous editions "Its strengths are the systematic coverage of all the major disorders in a fashion that can be easily read and understood." "Thoroughly revised, well referenced and written in an easy flowing style, this is an excellent introduction to child psychiatry." "A book does not reach a sixth edition unless it has proved itself a leader in its field, and Basic Child Psychiatry is certainly a first choice for many readers seeking an introduction to the topic."

The seventh edition of Basic Child Psychiatry has been completely revised and updated to take account of advances in this fascinating and important subject. The opening chapters set the scene with developmental considerations, epidemiology and assessment. Coverage includes causal factors and reflects the progress made in the understanding of the genetics of child psychiatric disorders. The main body of the book guides the reader through the major disorders. The final chapters address child abuse and neglect, treatment approaches and prevention. References are provided to enable readers to locate more information on subjects they wish to pursue further. The book refers to the widely used systems of classifying psychiatric disorders – the World Health Organisation's ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders and the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) - and provides a succinct orientation chapter on these systems.
