Rutter’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is the leading textbook in its field.

Both interdisciplinary and international, it provides a coherent appraisal of the current state of the field to help researchers, trainees and practicing clinicians in their daily work. Integrating science and clinical practice, it is a comprehensive reference for all aspects of child and adolescent psychiatry.

New to this full color edition are expanded coverage on classification, including the newly revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), and new chapters on systems neuroscience, relationship-based treatments, resilience, global psychiatry, and infant mental health.

From an international team of expert editors and contributors, this sixth edition is essential reading for all professionals working and learning in the field of child and adolescent mental health, and for clinicians working in general practice and community pediatric settings.

Michael Rutter has contributed a number of new chapters and a foreword for this edition: “I greatly welcome this new edition as providing both a continuity with the past and a substantial new look.” – Professor Sir Michael Rutter, extract from foreword.
