Lewis's Child & Adolescent Psychiatry: A Comprehensive Textbook 4th Edition

Readers acquainted with the three earlier editions of this volume are as likely to be reassured as they are to be disoriented on seeing this latest version. The reassurances will come from the textbook's signature heft and color, a similar breadth in scope and depth in coverage, and the welcome resurfacing of many familiar names within. The disorientation should be slight but significant, perhaps beginning with the very name of the book, subtly but most certainly different from its predecessors'. The landmark Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A Comprehensive Textbook that first appeared in 1991 had reached second and third editions within just eleven years (in 1996 and 2002, respectively). Today, 16 years after it first appeared onstage to set a new standard in the field, its latest edition comes forth, under the slightly altered title of Lewis's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A Comprehensive Textbook. The one-word change is at once subtle and momentous.

In this fourth edition, Melvin Lewis, for whom this landmark text has been a labor of love, makes way for two of his colleagues and students (not to mention admirers and friends) to continue his editorial vision and commitment. The book's new title reflects more than a semantic detail: in a fundamental way, Lewis embodies Mel's legacy and the values he has held dear for decades. His has been a model of professional and scholarly comportment that the two of us emulate each day. An edition, in brief, that by becoming a vehicle to improve the mental health of children and adolescents will make Melvin Lewis proud.

This fourth edition's title and cover art are the first and most apparent differences, but not the only ones. Indeed, it is in its substantially revised, updated and reorganized inner structures that the book is very much a new edition. The better testament to Lewis's ability to advance Mel's legacy may be in how different, rather than in how similar, it is from earlier versions. An evolving discipline is reflected in organically changing books that refuse to become definitive: gauging from the changes to this tome from a mere five years ago, our field is a lively and thriving one.

An Approach to the Discipline, the first of seven sections, sets the tone for the volume as a whole. If there has been a guiding principle in assembling this textbook, it has been our effort to trace the links between multiple components of our field. First chapter begins with the clinical care of a single child and ripples outward toward familial and societal dimensions: The care of children and families remains not only foremost concern, but the place from where major insights have almost invariably come.

The second section, Scientific Foundations, synthesizes three major domains of critical relevance to advance knowledge base in childhood psychiatric disorders: epidemiology and prevention, genetics, and neuroscience. While this section could never be all-inclusive, it does aim to provide a basic level of scientific literacy required to be an informed consumer of the literature; one aware that today's arcane and seemingly esoteric finding may hold the key to tomorrow's breakthrough intervention. To provide a framework for understanding these or any other pertinent scientific approaches, the section includes an overarching chapter on research methodology and statistics.

The third section, A Developmental Framework, chronologically follows normal development from the prenatal period through late adolescence. While incorporating the more relevant theories of human development, its chapters have a stronger emphasis on clinical applicability than encyclopedic coverage of specific milestones or schools of thought. The section is very much in line with experience of Mel's teaching and is capped with a review of developmental psychopathology, addressing the ways in which genetic endowment and environmental conditions can interact along the dimension of time to increase the likelihood of resilient or pathologic outcomes.

A fourth section on Nosology, Classification, and Diagnostic Assessment starts with an overview of the different ways in which child psychopathology has been historically classified. This chapter identifies differences across, and within, the major nosological schemes: the European ICD vs. the American DSM, and the various iterations of the latter. Although this discussion will eventually be eclipsed by the arrival of the forthcoming DSM-V, the more relevant point to make here is that this volume is not beholden to any given system. Thus, some chapters stay within well-demarcated diagnostic lines, others see the limitations in existing criteria, while yet others take whatever is useful from different classifications. The longer part of this section is dedicated to the diagnostic and clinical assessment process, and includes chapters that range from specific forms of assessment to the integration of the rich complexity inherent in child psychiatric practice.

Specific Disorders and Syndromes is the fifth and longest section. The same can be said of the part on treatment in the sixth section, where Continuum of Care and Location-Specific Interventions category that, while wordily titled, brings together aspects that are often as poorly interconnected in textbooks as they are out in the community.

The seventh and final section encompasses the very broadly ambassadorial Interface Areas of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Specifically, it includes discipline work on the borders and often well within the territories of pediatrics, schools, and the law.

Lewis comes up to 87 chapters, 155 contributing authors and over 1000 pages of text. The fact is that books today are not what they used to be just a decade ago, and the place and function of the academic textbook needs to be reconsidered in light of today's hegemony of the internet as a source of living and constantly shifting knowledge. Knowledge that in turn brings up a whole new set of questions about the information available to clinicians, practitioners and patients: What is the least disorienting and most reassuring source of information after all? Do not get us wrong: neither one of us is a pessimist. This book and confident that it will teach and inspire the readers it reaches, that it can provide a sense of overarching coherence one would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

Lewis's previous edition was already available as an e-book that included hypertext links. This new edition follows suit with updated technology, and a shorter, pocket companion version with self-assessment questions is planned. In these ways, this traditional textbook will continue to advance into electronic territory. Paper stock and wet forests shuddered at the thought of what the next edition might entail. As it turns out, it entailed very little, at least by ways of paper: By then the resource had all but ceased to be a book, having migrated almost entirely to the web as OMIM (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim).

Slap: Adolescent Medicine: The Requisites in Pediatrics

The focus of this book is adolescent medicine. While it incorporates clinical material from diverse fields, including pediatric and adult medicine, behavioral and mental health, reproductive and sexual health, sports medicine, and nutrition sciences, it is written for primary-care physicians, residents, and fellows who care for adolescent-aged patients. Characteristics that set this book apart from other adolescent texts are its visual content, electronic availability, and curricular orientation. We hope that it becomes the open book and active computer screen for trainees on block rotations in adolescent medicine as well as for busy clinicians faced with complex adolescent health issues.

The book is divided into four sections: I. General Issues in Adolescent Health Care; II. Common Medical Problems; III. Sexual and Reproductive Health; and IV. Mental and Behavioral Problems. The nine chapters in Section I provide a concise, readable overview of cross-cutting issues such as normal growth and development, preventive care, and transition to adult care. The 30 chapters in Sections II–IV share a common organizational structure. Each chapter opens with an outline of its topic-specific sub-headings within the shared structure of Definitions, Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Evaluation, Management, Major Points, and Bibliography. The text and illustrations are evidence-based or, when evidence is lacking, guided by expert opinion. To maintain high readability and portability, we decided against heavily-referenced text and long bibliographies. The reference lists therefore include print and web-based documents that are topical, timely, and readily accessible.

This book, as all books, should be a living, changing resource that reflects the science and art of our field. While many argue that a book is outdated before it appears, starting somewhere gives us a baseline for lifelong improvement. I hope this book provides a strong foundation for those who care for adolescents and work toward the continual improvement of adolescent health.

Book Review

The specialty of adolescent medicine evolved from the incubator of general pediatrics. Emergency medicine is another example of a non-organ–based subspecialty. As one reads the eighth volume of The Requisites in Pediatrics, it is clear why adolescent medicine is so important and is a subspecialty in pediatrics.

In this carefully edited volume, Dr. Gail Slap paints a clear picture of the issues that confront the adolescent patient in a time of dramatic physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth. The authors repeatedly make the point that addressing adolescent health issues in the context of these changes is vital to providing outstanding care. Furthermore, Dr. Slap and the authors have, whenever possible, made recommendations that are evidence-based.

The volume starts off with “Normal Growth and Development,” which outlines cognitive, social, and physiologic changes during adolescence. The statement “20% of adult height and 50% of adult skeleton are accrued during the teen years” indicates the importance of the fourth chapter on nutrition and a subsequent chapter (Chapter 11) on obesity. Other chapters in the first part of the volume are especially valuable, notably chapters entitled “Approaching Youth Violence in a Clinical Setting” (with a figure labeled “A life-saving decision tree”), “Transition to Adult Health Care,” and “Consent, Confidentiality, and Privacy. ”

Part II of the book includes common medical problems that are present to the office, such as delayed puberty, hypertension, acne, headaches, and fatigue. Parts III and IV are outstanding sections dealing with the important issues of sexual/reproductive health and mental/behavioral problems.

My thanks and congratulations to Dr. Slap and the authors of Adolescent Medicine. They have produced an outstanding and easy-to-use book that provides evidence based information on the most important questions and medical conditions confronting adolescents.

We are confident that you will find the latest volume of The Requisites in Pediatrics most useful.

Neinstein: Adolescent Health Care: A Practical Guide 5th edition

It feels incredible to see the fifth edition of Adolescent Health Care: A Practical Guide come to life. A once small project to help with my instruction of residents and adolescent medicine fellows has turned into a comprehensive but practical text whose “life” has now spanned almost a quarter of a century through its five editions. It has been a joy to see the continued development of adolescent health care as an exciting multidisciplinary field and see the increasing interest in this age group among so many different groups in health care. I have continued to be extremely gratified that the text remains so highly utilized among individuals at all levels of training and by so many different disciplines. One of the most satisfying aspects of my professional career has been the continued positive feedback I have received from you about the usefulness and practicality of the book for clinical, teaching, and study purposes. I continue to love seeing heavily worn copies of this book in offices and clinics.

Adolescent health care continues to expand as a field and includes pediatricians, internists, family medicine physicians, gynecologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, nurses, health educators, nutritionists, and teachers, among many others. The field has grown to include the health issues among college students, young adults with chronic illnesses transitioning into adult health care systems, adolescents in a variety of institutional settings, and adolescents served in school-based clinics. I thank all of you who are the providers of care to this population. I am always amazed and uplifted by the number of wonderful individuals from so many disciplines involved in the care of youth.

It is at times a daunting task to approach a new edition of this text with the increasing volume of information that continues to change at an ever-rapid rate. To facilitate a wider range of expertise and to broaden the approach, I have added associate editors. Dr. Debra Katzman, Dr. Catherine M. Gordon, Dr. David Rosen, and Dr. Elizabeth Woods are among the most respected names in the field of adolescent health care in North America. They provide a wide range of expertise ranging from gynecology, endocrinology, mental health issues, and prevention health issues to substance abuse and sexually transmitted diseases. They have been an invaluable addition in continuing to raise the standards of this textbook. In addition to these four associate editors, new experts have been added to almost every chapter. I sincerely thank the many contributors who have helped make this fifth edition, which I consider the most complete and the most user- and Web-friendly edition yet.

With the many requests, it is always difficult to decide what special new topics to add to a new edition. Several topics came to the forefront that were important to either add, expand upon, or reorganize. These include the addition of a chapter on anxiety disorders, the total reorganization of the substance abuse chapters, the addition of material on complementary medicine, and the reorganization and expansion of material on HPV and cervical cytology. All other material has been extensively revised to include new information, research, and recommendations as well as new references and Web sites. Web sites, both in the text and in the reference section, have also been expanded to access up-to-date information where relevant. Web sites that are appropriate for teenagers, parents, and professionals have also been included.

I hope that all readers will enjoy this latest edition of Adolescent Health Care. Particularly for new readers, the intent is to make the material practical and easy to read, while maintaining a thorough approach that is evidence based but in a concise format. I know that the many tables, figures, statistics, references, and resources will help you in providing care to the many adolescents and young adults that you serve. The appendices cover a wide range of books, magazines, articles, organizations, and Web sites available for this age-group. As always, the hope is to make it easier for you, the reader, to perform appropriate evaluations and work-ups.

I dedicate this book to young people and to their health care providers. I hope this edition will provide a wealth of information for those who care for youth and young adults. Importantly, I welcome and look forward to feedback on this edition so I can continue to improve this book as the most practical guide to adolescent health issues.

Lawrence S. Neinstein

Foreword

It is our great pleasure to write the foreword to the fifth edition of Adolescent Health Care: A Practical Guide. Larry Neinstein and his associate editors provide a wonderful resource for practicing health professionals caring for adolescents, who will use this handy reference guide on a daily basis. This latest volume reflects the changing field of adolescent medicine: It incorporates new ideas and data into earlier versions while adding new perspectives in the field. Most importantly, the very practical approaches of previous editions continue to permeate this latest version of one of the most useful guides written for the medical care of teenagers.

Many faculty members tell us of the very practical ways this book influences their teaching and delivery of care. We also know that many other physicians, nurses, and health practitioners, who see the majority of adolescents in private practice and public health settings, will also find this book of great use.

It is for those who are in training, the many subspecialists now in the field, and the larger health professional audience that this fine volume has been revised. Older sections have been brought up to date and new sections added to reflect the latest in management and care of adolescents and their families.

Dr. Neinstein and his associate editors have provided us with a solid base for the practice of adolescent medicine, adding new chapters on psychosomatic illness, complementary medicine, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, human papillomavirus (HPV), and anogenital warts. Sixty-six new authors and coauthors have contributed to this edition, further recognizing the many leading experts who add their skill and expertise to the field of adolescent health care. They have skillfully distilled and synthesized new knowledge and transformed it into useful and accessible information for the practitioner.

It is hard to believe that it has been more than 23 years since Adolescent Health Care was first conceived. During this time, dramatic changes have occurred in the field, including the establishment of adolescent medicine as a subspecialty in pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine. This recognition has served to codify special areas of interest and knowledge in the field. Expertise in adolescent health is found in academic health centers, college health centers, community agencies, and school services nationally and internationally.

It is certainly hard to predict where the field will go in the next 50 years. Clearly, adolescence as a period of life will continue to undergo dramatic changes as our young people seek new ways to redefine themselves and to explore new ideas and challenges. We will need to understand how they will influence other teenagers and how young people will have an impact on their families, their communities, and the world at large. Their health care may play a much larger role in understanding how health and illness will change in our society, in an increasingly smaller and smaller world.

One can only wonder how the daily care of teenagers will also change. Clearly, the developmental aspects of this challenging period of time will remain. But with enhanced communication between teenagers and their world, an expanded role of the Internet, iPods, and cell phones in our lives, and the drive toward seeking and improving self-help and self-knowledge, it is hard to conceive of the many new ways by which we will be providing care for these young people.

With that in mind, we are sure that a future edition of Adolescent Health Care: A Practical Guide will be around to assist us in meeting the challenges of youth and give us the opportunity to provide the highest quality of health care.

APPENDICES

From PREFACE

It feels incredible to see the fifth edition of Adolescent Health Care: A Practical Guide come to life. A once small project to help with my instruction of residents and adolescent medicine fellows has turned into a comprehensive but practical text whose “life” has now spanned almost a quarter of a century through its five editions. It has been a joy to see the continued development of adolescent health care as an exciting multidisciplinary field and see the increasing interest in this age group among so many different groups in health care. I have continued to be extremely gratified that the text remains so highly utilized among individuals at all levels of training and by so many different disciplines. One of the most satisfying aspects of my professional career has been the continued positive feedback I have received from you about the usefulness and practicality of the book for clinical, teaching, and study purposes. I continue to love seeing heavily worn copies of this book in offices and clinics.

Adolescent health care continues to expand as a field and includes pediatricians, internists, family medicine physicians, gynecologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, nurses, health educators, nutritionists, and teachers, among many others. The field has grown to include the health issues among college students, young adults with chronic illnesses transitioning into adult health care systems, adolescents in a variety of institutional settings, and adolescents served in school-based clinics. I thank all of you who are the providers of care to this population. I am always amazed and uplifted by the number of wonderful individuals from so many disciplines involved in the care of youth.

It is at times a daunting task to approach a new edition of this text with the increasing volume of information that continues to change at an ever-rapid rate. To facilitate a wider range of expertise and to broaden the approach, I have added associate editors. Dr. Debra Katzman, Dr. Catherine M. Gordon, Dr. David Rosen, and Dr. Elizabeth Woods are among the most respected names in the field of adolescent health care in North America. They provide a wide range of expertise ranging from gynecology, endocrinology, mental health issues, and prevention health issues to substance abuse and sexually transmitted diseases. They have been an invaluable addition in continuing to raise the standards of this textbook. In addition to these four associate editors, new experts have been added to almost every chapter. I sincerely thank the many contributors who have helped make this fifth edition, which I consider the most complete and the most user- and Web-friendly edition yet.

With the many requests, it is always difficult to decide what special new topics to add to a new edition. Several topics came to the forefront that were important to either add, expand upon, or reorganize. These include the addition of a chapter on anxiety disorders, the total reorganization of the substance abuse chapters, the addition of material on complementary medicine, and the reorganization and expansion of material on HPV and cervical cytology. All other material has been extensively revised to include new information, research, and recommendations as well as new references and Web sites. Web sites, both in the text and in the reference section, have also been expanded to access up-to-date information where relevant. Web sites that are appropriate for teenagers, parents, and professionals have also been included.

I hope that all readers will enjoy this latest edition of Adolescent Health Care. Particularly for new readers, the intent is to make the material practical and easy to read, while maintaining a thorough approach that is evidence based but in a concise format. I know that the many tables, figures, statistics, references, and resources will help you in providing care to the many adolescents and young adults that you serve. The appendices cover a wide range of books, magazines, articles, organizations, and Web sites available for this age-group. As always, the hope is to make it easier for you, the reader, to perform appropriate evaluations and work-ups.

I dedicate this book to young people and to their health care providers. I hope this edition will provide a wealth of information for those who care for youth and young adults. Importantly, I welcome and look forward to feedback on this edition so I can continue to improve this book as the most practical guide to adolescent health issues.
