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.
