Synopses & Reviews
Child and Adolescent Psychopathology provides a unique opportunity to expose students to a cutting-edge approach to childhood and adolescent disorders by addressing and integrating the most current research on the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors that contribute to them. The text also emphasizes how, when, and why disorders emerge among young people and in what ways symptom profiles change at different stages of development.
Review
"Readers [of this text] will learn an immense amount about risk and protective factors, about development, about clinical disorders, and about neuroscience, but most of all they will be helped in how to think about the issues as they will arise in the future and not just as they face us today."
—Michael Rutter, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College, London UK
