Both interdisciplinary and international in scope, Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry delivers an expansive overview of the current state of the field, covering the latest research, advancements and technological developments.

This Seventh Edition has undergone an extensive revision process, including a comprehensive review of chapter outlines and two stages of critical review for each full chapter by the editorial team. In this edition, each author provides short video clips to give a taste of their chapter along with instructor slides for teaching and training.

New chapters cover changes in science and the needs of children around the world, global threats including COVID-19, wars, and natural disasters, care in low-resource settings, diversity in relation to gender and sexual orientation and body dysmorphic disorder, as well as digital technology, detailing the growing interest in digital approaches to assessment and intervention.

. Written by a team of expert editors and contributors, Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry discusses sample topics including:

  • Diagnosis, diagnostic formulations and classifications of developmental psychopathology, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders and emotion, emotional regulation and emotional disorders
  • Child maltreatment and sexual abuse as well as influences on psychopathology, including genetics, epigenetics, psychosocial adversity, parental psychiatric disorders and physical treatment
  • Available treatments including parenting programs, cognitive behavioural therapy, family interventions and relationship-based treatments
  • Contexts of clinical encounters, including refugee and asylum-seeking children, children affected by HIV/AIDS and children with specific sensory impairments

The Seventh Edition of Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is an essential resource for all professionals working and learning in the fields of child and adolescent mental health and developmental psychopathology along with clinicians working in primary care and paediatric settings.
