Lewis's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Lewis's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A Comprehensive Textbook, 5th Edition, provides broad coverage bridging foundational scientific principles, research methodologies, and everyday clinical care. Prepared by colleagues of Dr. Lewis at the Yale Child Study Center, this volume represents the first revision of the foundational textbook in a decade.
