Written by two
directors of adolescent medicine programs, the updated Second Edition
of this handbook is the most practical and timely guide to adolescent
health care. The book is designed for quick, easy access and covers
medical problems, chronic illness, sexuality, sports medicine, and
psychological disorders. This edition features greatly expanded
coverage of substance use and abuse and legal issues and new chapters
on violence, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, hypertension,
common upper respiratory problems, and syncope.
Praise for the First
Edition (1991):
"This excellent book is of value not only to neophytes seeking more
information, but also to seasoned practitioners eager to increase
their knowledge of what makes the adolescent so different.... It
belongs in the libraries of all pediatricians, internists, and family
practitioners who treat adolescents."--The New England Journal of
Medicine
