This book highlights the field of youth mental health and why it is a specialty distinct from both child and adolescent and adult mental health.
Youth Mental Health: Approaches to Emerging Mental Ill-Health in Young People examines issues such as mental health literacy, e-Health, family, psychological, vocational and pharmacological interventions. The authors also discuss issues that are particularly pertinent to young people, such as suicidality, substance abuse, gender identity and sexuality, attention deficit disorder and eating disorders. Taking a preventative focus, this book presents evidence for youth mental health as an important and growing field, makes the case for the reform of existing service structures to better serve this group and outlines the latest specialised approaches to treatment.
Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of leading thinkers in youth mental health, this book is instrumental for mental health professionals who wish to design new specialised mental health systems for young people.
"This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in working with young people experiencing mental ill-health. Written by leading experts in youth mental health, it provides an authoritative overview of the latest research and evidence-informed practices across a wide range of areas, which are likely to appeal to mental health professionals, researchers and students alike. I will certainly be recommending it to students of the Masters of Youth Mental Health."
