With chapters covering subjects such as child and adolescent development, parenting skills, problems at school, and emotional health and well-being, the handbook also looks specifically at some of the most distressing problems facing young people today, including anxiety and stress disorders, drugs, alcohol, self-harm, and psycho-sexual development.
