At the founding in 1896 of the first psychological clinic dedicated
to children and adolescents, the study of the psychological
treatment of young people lagged behind that of adults, and the
basic psychopathology underlying mental disorders in this
population was largely ignored. Since those early days, the field
has evolved steadily and, in recent years, exponentially. The
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology is a
state-of-the-science volume providing comprehensive coverage of the
psychological problems and disorders of childhood. International in
scope and penned by the discipline's most eminent scientists and
practitioners, the handbook begins with a section on conceptual and
empirical issues, followed by exceptional content on specific
psychiatric disorders such as intellectual disability,
externalizing and internalizing disorders, communication disorders,
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and many
more. The third section offers chapters on special problems in
childhood and adolescence, including divorce, the incarceration of
parents, suicide and non-suicidal self-injury, bullying, and
medical illness. A fourth section covers delivery of clinical
services in diverse settings, such as schools and prisons, and the
handbook concludes with several chapters on emerging trends and
future directions for the field. Conceptually rich and
evidence-based, this handbook is an essential resource for
students, practitioners, and researchers, providing a cutting-edge
compendium of the latest theoretical and empirical developments by
leaders of the discipline.
