Psychological Interventions in Child Mental Health: Evidence and Applications

This edited volume brings together practical, evidence-based, non-pharmacological therapies for children and adolescents—particularly in the context of the Indian subcontinent. With medications often offering limited benefits in treating childhood disorders, this book emphasizes psychological approaches as the foundation of effective care. Authored by leading Child Mental Health experts and academicians from across India, the book offers hands-on, culturally informed techniques derived from decades of clinical experience. The chapters cover a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, autism, SLD, depression, internet gaming disorders, and self-harm, presenting culturally relevant interventions supported by real-world applications. It serves as a valuable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, social workers, counsellors, nurses, teachers, and parents seeking effective, therapy-based solutions for children's mental health challenges.
