Abnormal Child Psychology, 4th Edition

Through a thoughtful and accurate balance of developmental, clinical-diagnostic, and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology, Eric Mash and David Wolfe's ABNORMAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY, International Edition remains the most authoritative, scholarly, and comprehensive book in its market. Accessible to a broad range of readers, the book traces the developmental course of each disorder and shows how biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors interact with a child's environment. Case histories and first-person accounts addressing all treatment stages of the full range of childhood and adolescent disorders are at the heart of the text. The authors begin chapters with these accounts and case histories and refer to the children they present throughout, along with additional case examples, illustrating the categorical and dimensional approaches used to describe disorders and bringing life to the theories discussed. The authors also consistently illustrate how troubled children behave in their natural settings--homes, schools, and communities. Up-to-date and forward-looking, the text covers the DSM-IV-TR and dimensional approaches to classification as well as evidence-based assessment and treatment, contemporary research, and the latest theories related to the predominantly inattentive ADHD subtype, early-onset and the developmental propensity model of conduct disorder, the triple vulnerability model of anxiety, the tripartite model in children, depression, and autism MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict Front Cover 1 Title Page 2 Copyright 3 Contents 5 Part 1 Understanding Abnormal Child Psychology 20 1 Introduction to Normal and Abnormal Behavior in Children and Adolescents 20 Georgina: Counting for Safety 21 Historical Views and Breakthroughs 22 Lee: Early Troubles 29 What Is Abnormal Behavior in Children and Adolescents? 29 Risk and Resilience 34 Raoul and Jesse: Why the Differences? 34 The Significance of Mental Health Problems Among Children and Youths 36 What Affects Rates and Expression of Mental Disorders?
