Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology is a comprehensive
introduction to the field. It covers theoretical and methodological
foundations and examines the characteristics, epidemiology,
etiology, developmental course, assessment, and treatment of
disorders of childhood and adolescence. At the heart of the text is
the partnership of the developmental psychopathology perspective,
which analyzes problems of youth within a developmental context,
and a traditional clinical/disorder approach, which underscores the
symptoms, causes, and treatments of disorders. Woven throughout the
text is the view that behavior stems from the continuous
interaction of multiple influences, that the problems of the young
are intricately tied to their social and cultural contexts, and
that empirical approaches and the scientific method provide the
best avenue for understanding the complexity of human behavior.
This edition explores the latest areas of research and tackles
important contemporary topics, including: how to best classify and
diagnose problems the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework the
roles of genetics and early brain development and their interaction
with the environment the complex roles of family and peers;
sex/gender; and culture, ethnicity, and race in psychopathology
progress in early intervention and prevention improvements in
accessibility and dissemination of evidence-based treatments social
issues such as poverty, child maltreatment, substance use,
bullying/victimization, and terrorism and war This edition also
features a new full-color design and over 200 color figures,
tables, and photos. The text is written in a clear and engaging
style and is approachable for students with varying academic
backgrounds and experiences. It is rich in case descriptions that
allow students to examine problems through the lens of youth and
their families. The "Accent" boxes foster discussion of current
interest topics such as infant mental health, scientific evidence
regarding vaccines and autism, suicidality in sexual minority
youth, and the impact of stigmatization. The "Looking Forward"
sections focus students' attention on the central concepts to be
addressed, while the "Looking Back" sections provide students with
a synopsis of the chapter for further study and reflection. The
text is also supplemented with online resources for students and
instructors.
