Disorders of Childhood

ISBN-13: 9780357796467

To provide you with a meaningful framework for learning and understanding, Parritz and Troy’s DISORDERS OF CHILDHOOD, 4th EDITION, is written with the whole child in mind and presents disorders in the context of typical development and developmental pathways. Multiple themes recur throughout the text: the continuity between typical and atypical development, risk and resilience, complex models of psychopathology, children in relationships over time, children in larger social contexts (ethnic backgrounds, neighborhoods, cultures), and the holistic nature of development (thinking about the child's abilities and strengths in addition to the disorder or areas of struggle). This developmental psychopathology approach, which reflects the most up-to-date understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology, will teach you to think about disorders in terms of the individual children who are coping with distress and dysfunction.

Themed feature boxes -- The Child in Context, Clinical Perspectives, Risk and Resilience, and Emerging Science -- support the book's overall approach and highlight important topics of interest to students.
With this text, students learn to think about disorders in the same way that caring adults think about the children and the disorders they encounter every day -- in terms of an individual child who is coping with distress and dysfunction.
Extensive use of case studies brings concepts to life.
A section at the beginning of each chapter summarizes the developmental tasks and challenges experienced by typically developing children that are especially relevant given the disorders discussed in the chapter.
Chapters are sequenced to reflect the typical course of development, which allows students to consider specific disorders and sets of disorders that occur in a particular developmental period in proximity and relation to one another.
