Mash/Wolfe/Nguyen Williams' CHILD PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, 8th Edition, introduces you to childhood and adolescent disorders, treatments and preventions with an approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of biological, psychological, social and emotional influences. You'll learn about each disorder from the perspective of the whole child, with diagnostic criteria and an emphasis on the individual's strengths, environmental circumstances, issues regarding younger and older age groups and the risk and protective factors affecting developmental pathways. Case histories, examples and first-person accounts are at the heart of the text, bringing to life theories and disorders and the real people affected by them.
