Abstract:	The book's foundation is its compelling and meticulously narrated cases. Each patient has a narrative, and it is the clinician's responsibility to frame that narrative in a way that is beneficial to the patient and promotes the appropriate intervention. The cases constitute the heart of the book, which is organized into four parts: Classic Cases, where the diagnosis is fairly clear; Comorbid Complexity, where the diagnosis may be complicated by co-existing conditions; Toughest Cases, where the diagnosis is unclear or the patient has been unresponsive to treatment; and, finally, Kids in Crisis, where the patient's psychopathology exists in the context of extreme social stressors.
