Clinical Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for Pediatrics and Psychiatry Postgraduates | Practical Guide to Neurodevelopmental, Mood and Behavioral Disorders in 34 Chapters

Clinical Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry , edited by Savita Malhotra and Nitin Gupta, is a singular practical resource for anyone who assesses or treats children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders. Compiled principally from the faculty teaching the IACAM Academy course, the book is built around 5 broad sections and 34 chapters: Normal Development and Neurodevelopmental Conditions; Externalizing Disorders, Addictions, Mood, and Psychotic Disorders; Internalizing Disorders, Stress, and Trauma; Management and Aftercare; and Special Circumstances. Clinical guidance throughout is grounded in contemporary, internationally accepted developments and theory, but deliberately adapted to Indian sociocultural realities. The content prioritizes interventions and treatment guidelines over theoretical discussion, and is reinforced with illustrative case vignettes that turn abstract diagnostic criteria into recognizable clinical presentations. Who This Book Is For: Psychiatry Postgraduates (MD/DNB): a core clinical resource for the child and adolescent psychiatry component of postgraduate training. Pediatrics Postgraduates (MD/DNB): practical grounding in the psychiatric disorders pediatricians routinely encounter. Fellowship Trainees (DM / PDF Child and Adolescent Psychiatry): a singular resource book built specifically for this postdoctoral tier. Practicing Psychiatrists: particularly general psychiatrists in tier-two and tier-three cities who see children with no dedicated child psychiatric services available. Pediatricians: routine guidance for the psychiatric side of pediatric practice. Why This Book Helps: Bridges theory and the clinic: content favors interventions and treatment guidelines over pure academic discussion. Fills a genuine service gap: written explicitly for general psychiatrists in smaller cities who must manage child patients without access to specialist child-psychiatric services. Covers the whole developmental arc: from neurodevelopment and attachment theory through management and aftercare, in one continuous clinical narrative. Grounded in Indian practice: internationally accepted theory is explicitly adapted to Indian sociocultural realities rather than presented generically. Makes diagnosis memorable: illustrative case vignettes turn diagnostic criteria into recognizable real-world presentations. Key Features: 5 sections and 34 chapters spanning normal development through special circumstances in child and adolescent psychiatry. Authored by expert child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and speech-language pathologists. Illustrative case vignettes woven through the clinical chapters. Dedicated chapters on Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Intellectual Disability, and Developmental Speech and Language Disorders. 612 pages, edited by Savita Malhotra (50+ years in academic child psychiatry) and Nitin Gupta.
