The Young Mind

Sadly, millions of children today are affected by mental health problems, almost a doubling of the number of sufferers in just one generation.

Now, in this timely new book, mental health experts provide invaluable information and guidance for concerned parents, teachers and young adults. With chapters covering subjects such as child and adolescent development, parenting skills, problems at school, emotional health and wellbeing, The Young Mind 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.

Illustrated and written in a completely accessible style by some of the most distinguished and respected professionals in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry, The Young Mind offers a guiding hand and insight into this most vital area of mental health.

Reviews

A must for all parents. [It] will help parents understand what their child is going through and whether they may need extra support.

—— Children and Young People Now

Two child psychiatrists bring together the contributions of 30 professionals in an eminently practical guide to the emotional development of children and adolescents. With necessarily short chapters on common anxieties, from depression and eating disorders to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, there is a wealth of information on support agencies and further reading. An excellent first point of reference for parents and teachers.

—— Good Book Guide

A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive

—— John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

I have loved this book for so many years, and I think every human being should read it.

—— Simon Sinek

Viktor Frankl...one of the moral heroes of the 20th century. His insights into human freedom, dignity and the search for meaning are deeply humanizing, and have the power to transform lives. His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition.

—— Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks

Perhaps the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler.

—— The American Journal of Psychiatry

Influential and eloquent.

—— Jewish Chronicle

If you read but one book this year, Dr Frankl's book should be that one.

—— Los Angeles Times

a great book...if you need to be reminded that there is value to be discovered in experiences when they seem nothing but pointless and painful, and choices to be made when you think you have none, I'd recommend it

—— Lauren Laverne

One wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it

—— Washington Post

This story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage

—— Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors

Highly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered

—— The Times
