Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, this authoritative text integrates state-of-the-art theory and empirical research on a wide range of child and adolescent disorders. Featuring contributions from leading scholars and clinicians, the volume is notable for its comprehensive coverage of the biological, psychological, and social-contextual determinants of childhood problems. Each chapter focuses on a specific disorder, describing its characteristics, developmental course, and epidemiology; outlining current diagnostic and classification schemes; identifying risk and protective factors; and discussing implications for prevention and treatment. Including a new chapter on adolescent substance use disorders, the second edition has been updated throughout to reflect important advances in the field. Incorporated is emerging knowledge in the areas of neurobiology, genetics, developmental psychology, and emotions, as well as new findings on sex differences in psychopathology and long-term outcomes for children at risk.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not a light read...
The previous edition of this book was required reading for a Developmental Psychopathology course I completed as part of my graduate training program in educational psychology. Another more "reader-friendly" text was also required; however, I found myself referencing this book often as it is probably the definitive source of empirically based information in this subject area.

Rating: - came as ordered
The book came in a timely manner and arrived in new condition exactly as I ordered it. Very pleased.

It is by far the most complete and rigorously empirical text available. Discussion is sophisticated and thorough. In fact, it is almost possible to use this text without primary source supplements.
As a reference tool, it unparalleled. this is probably the only text you will need as a quick reference for quick answers to run of ... Read More
