Summary
Details

When should children be referred to a psychiatrist? At what point does childish behavior become part of normal development-and when does psychiatric treatment become necessary? This book addresses one of the most sensitive issues in child and adolescent psychiatry and shows why simple age limits or diagnostic lists do not provide viable answers. Instead, it offers well-founded, generally understandable guidance based on key criteria such as psychological distress, functional impairment, risk, and developmental prospects. It highlights typical mental illnesses in childhood and adolescence, explains common misdiagnoses, and shows the role played by family, school, social expectations, and care systems. Particular attention is paid to the responsible distinction between psychiatry, psychotherapy, education, and youth welfare, as well as to the power and impact of diagnoses. The book advocates for child and adolescent psychiatry that makes differentiated decisions, respects development, and uses psychiatric treatment where it really helps children. A guide for professionals, students, relatives, and anyone who wants to gain a sound understanding of when psychiatry is necessary-and when restraint is the better decision. Bremen University Press has published over 5,500 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
