Adults Don't Have Dibs on Depression; Kids Are Depressed Too

Reviews the book, Handbook of depression in children and adolescents edited by John R. Z. Abela and Bejamin L. Hankin (see record 2008-01178-000). This Handbook offers a compilation of the research on etiology, treatment, and prevention of childhood and adolescent depression during the last decade. The editors have carefully integrated findings from the lab with therapeutic interventions for treatment in one volume. They alert readers to the developmental differences in symptoms, gender differences, reasonable expectations for treatment, and what to expect from those affected, all rooted in a developmental psychopathology context. In general, this book is a phenomenal reference book that represents the current state of child and adolescent depression. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
