Book excerpt: Psychotic disorders can be misunderstood or misdiagnosed by clinicians that deal with children, including clinical social workers, counselors, child psychiatrists, and child psychologists.

This book provides professionals and students with the specific information needed to assess better the exact nature of what is affecting the young patient.
