Children and Sexuality discusses the historical relationship between children and sexuality, and the changing views of child-adult relations in the sexual domain, in a series of case studies extending from the Greeks to the Great War. Chapters provide highly original interpretations of these cases that challenge the received views of children and sexuality, as well as traditional disciplinary conventions. While the book is firmly grounded in history and literature, biography and social custom, it also engages with current debates in literary and cultural history; as well as the new history and anthropology of childhood.
Fairy stories and traditional tales have a special place in the life of every child. Beauty and the Beast is perfect for reading aloud, or for older, more confident readers to read by themselves.
Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children. These are the original Ladybird retellings, with beautiful new pictures of the kind children like best - full of richness and detail. Children have always loved and will always remember these classic stories and sharing them together is an experience to treasure.
Not long ago, child psychiatrists rarely conducted Mental Status Examinations on their patients for fear of nosological labeling. Due to an increasing recognition that childhood psychiatric syndromes often continue into adulthood, direct and systematic interviewing of pre-adolescents has become more prevalent. Cost-effective pressures have made it imperative that sound diagnostic processes are performed and relevant treatment plans are implemented. The Concise Guide to the Psychiatric Interview of Children and Adolescents provides residents and veteran practitioners with the skills to conduct effective interviews for the Mental Status Examination of children and adolescents.
