Publisher Summary 1
When interviewing children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), what about behavioral approaches for treatment should the therapist keep in mind? Why are parents the primary clients when a child exhibits oppositional defiant disorder or a conduct disorder? This collection of 24 independent papers addresses general issues in interviewing, such as unstructured interviewing, structured and semistructured diagnostic interviews, developmental issues, mental status examinations from a multicultural approach, diversity, dealing with school systems and teachers, selecting targets and referrals, and writing up the intake interview. Papers on disorders cover depressive and anxiety, PTSD, pervasive developmental disorders, learning and motor/communication disorders, ADHD, eating disorders, substance use and schizophrenia, and those on special populations include children with habit disorders, those who are firesetters, those who suffer from enuresis and encopresis, and those who have been neglected or abused.

Publisher Summary 2
The聽Handbook of Clinical Interviewing with聽Childrenis one of three interrelated handbooks on the topic of interviewing for specific populations. It presents a combination of theory and practice plus concern with diagnostic entities for readers who work, or one day will work, with children (and their parents and teachers) in clinical settings. The volume begins with general issues (structured versus unstructured interview strategies, developmental issues when working with children, writing up the intake interview, etc.), moves to a section on major disorders with special relevance for child populations (conduct disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, etc.), and concludes with a section addressing special populations.
