The Palgrave Handbook of Child Mental Health cover

A landmark publication in the field, this state of the art reference work includes contributions from leading thinkers across a range of disciplines on topics including ADHD, autism, depression, eating disorders and trauma. It is an essential resource for all those involved or interested in child mental health.

“This important reference work is not just for mental health practitioners; it explores new possibilities for researchers and professionals interested in using discursive analysis in the work of supporting children’s mental health. … The volume has much to offer both theoretical debates in discourse studies and implications of discursive analyses for research and practice in mental health.” (Lise Claiborne, Discourse Studies, Vol. 19 (5), 2017)

“O'Reilly (Univ. of Leicester, UK) and Lester (Indiana Univ.) have organized this handbook around an alternative perspective on children’s mental health, one using discourse and conversation analysis (DA/CA). … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals.” (J. F. Heberle, Choice, Vol. 53 (12), August, 2016)
