Description: Multiaxial Classification of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders by World Health Organisation, Sir Michael Rutter ICD10 descriptions have been grouped into multiaxial form, particularly adapted for ease of use with mental disorders in childhood and adolescence. The popular original framework of four axes has now been greatly improved by the inclusion of both a new axis for psychosocial situations and a sixth axis which allows for coding on the basis of disability. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Diagnosis within psychiatry involves the consideration of a number of different features of mental state. In making a diagnosis, individual psychiatrists inevitably accord differing importance to certain features. By regulating the order and number of conditions to be recorded, a multiaxial framework provides for internationally comparable descriptions of mental state. This volume provides the psychiatric sections of ICD10 in a form that is adapted for ease of use of those dealing with mental disorders in childhood and adolescence. Descriptions have been grouped into axes which have been chosen to provide unambiguous information of maximum clinical usefulness in the greatest number of cases. Building on the popular original framework of four axes, the system has been greatly improved by the inclusion of a new axis for psychosocial situations and by the addition of a further sixth axis on adaptive level which enables clinicians to code an individuals current level of disability. Author Biography Michael Rutter is Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London. His research has included the genetics of autism, the effect of early severe deprivation on Romanian orphans adopted into Britain, and the study of both school and environmental influences on childrens behavior. He has published nearly 40 books. Table of Contents 1. Introduction M. Rutter; 2. Axis one (clinical psychiatric syndromes); 3. Axis two (specific disorders of psychological development); 4.
