Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Book Recommendations

[Ψ-117]

I'm starting a child & adolescent fellowship in a few short months, and with my remaining professional development fund that my residency program provides, I'd like to get some books. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that would be useful during fellowship or in practice?

I'd be inclined to purchase either Lewis's or Dulcan's textbooks, but I've heard they will likely be updated in the near future for DSM-5, and I doubt either will come out with a new edition by June. Any other ideas are welcome. Also, I am open to suggestions for books on general psychiatry, too!

I prefer dulcan and stubbe for a quick read. Also know the cap chapters in Kaplan and saddock.

Children with Conduct Disorder by Kernberg. A good psychopharm for kids book as well.
