Depressionen im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Depressive disorders can occur in childhood and adolescence. They range from mild mood disturbances to severe clinical depression. In this book, two distinguished experts describe the full spectrum of depressive disorders and address key questions:

What signals can parents and educators use to recognize depression in children and adolescents early on? What resources are available to help them through their developmental crises? What role do friends, parents, and teachers play in the prevention, coping, and treatment of depressive disorders in childhood and adolescence? And which institutions provide advice and further assistance?

An important book for parents, teachers, and educators, as well as for psychologists, social educators, and therapists.
