Summary

"It is indisputable that mental illness in a parent has serious and often adverse effects on the child, something which is surprisingly not reflected in clinical service provision. In this completely rewritten new edition, an international, multidisciplinary team of professionals review the most up-to-date treatment interventions from a practical, clinical point of view. It is essential reading for all professionals dealing with adult mental illness and child-care."--Jacket.
