Hi everyone,

I'll be doing a child psych internship next year and was hoping to do some reading over the summer to brush up on my knowledge and skills.

Does anyone have any great textbooks or other resources to recommend?

Thanks!

I wouldn't consider it essential, but it is a good read to help prepare you for child trauma work:
