The authors, both child psychologists, have guided hundreds of families through the difficult journey of evaluating children for depression and bipolar disorder and finding treatments that really work. Now they translate their decades of successful research and therapeutic work into a detailed road map for teaching your moody child to get along better in the world. Loads of realistic examples bring to life the many faces of mood problems and illustrate step-by-step strategies. 260 pages. 2003. $16.95.
