  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on three issues relevant to the unmet need for treatment of children and adolescents: identification of the needs of children with mental disorders; treatment of children's mental disorders; and prevention of children's mental disorders. Responses to the unmet needs of children and adolescents with mental disorders must take into account a number of key features of childhood disorders if they are to successfully address this issue. The approach to need described by Bradshaw provides a useful framework within which the unmet needs of children with mental disorders can be considered. Bradshaw suggests that the concept of need includes: normative need, felt need, expressed need, and comparative need. Clinical interventions based in treatment settings can be grouped into three categories: indicated interventions, treatment of discrete episodes, and maintenance of remission and prevention of relapse.
