This nineteenth volume of Advances in Clinical Child Psychology
continues our tradition of examining a broad range of topics and
issues that charac terizes the continually evolving field of
clinical child psychology. Over the years, the series has served to
identify important, exciting, and timely new developments in the
field and to provide scholarly and in-depth reviews of current
thought and practices. The present volume is no exception. In the
opening chapter, Sue Campbell explores developmental path ways
associated with serious behavior problems in preschool children.
Specifically, she notes that about half of preschool children
identified with aggression and problems of impulse control persist
in their deviance across development. The other half do not. What
accounts for these differ ent developmental outcomes? Campbell
invokes developmental and fam ily influences as possible sources of
these differential outcomes and, in doing so, describes aspects of
her own programmatic research program that has greatly enriched our
understanding of this complex topic. In a similar vein, Sara Mattis
and Tom Ollendick undertake a develop mental analysis of panic in
children and adolescents in Chapter 2. In recent years, separation
anxiety and/ or experiences in separation from attach ment figures
in childhood have been hypothesized as playing a critical role in
the development of panic. This chapter presents relevant findings
in the areas of childhood temperament and attachment, in addition
to experi ences of separation, that might predispose a child to
development of panic.
It is with both pride and sadness that we publish the twentieth and
last volume of Advances in Clinical Child Psychology. This series
has seen a long and successful run starting under the editorship of
Ben Lahey and Alan Kazdin, who passed the baton to us at Volume 14.
We are grateful to the many contributors over the years and to the
Plenum staff for producing a quality product in a timely manner.
This volume covers a diverse array of significant topics. In the
open ing chapter, Maughan and Rutter explore the research
literatures related to continuity and discontinuity of antisocial
behavior from childhood to adulthood. Their review and
conceptualization emphasize the significance of hyperactivity and
inattention, early-onset conduct problems, low reac tivity to
stress, and poor peer relations as potentially influential
variables in the persistence of antisocial behavior. Social
cognitions, environmental continuities, substance abuse, cumulative
chains of life events, and protec tive processes are considered as
well."
This volume of Advances in Clinical Child Psychology, which is the
second under our editorship and the sixteenth of the series,
continues the tradi tion of including a broad range of timely
topics on the study and treat ment of children and adolescents.
Volume 16 includes contributions per taining to prevention,
adolescents, families, cognitive processes, and methodology. The
issue of prevention in child clinical psychology is no longer
restricted to a few speculative sentences in the future directions
part of a discussion section. Prevention research is actually being
undertaken, as reflected in two contributions to the volume. Winett
and Anderson pro vide a promising framework for the development,
evaluation, and dis semination of programs aimed at the prevention
of HIV among youth. Lorion, Myers, Bartels, and Dennis address some
of the conceptual and methodological issues in preventive
intervention research with children. Adolescent development and
adjustment is an important area of study in clinical child
psychology. Two contributors address key and somewhat related
topics, social competence and depression in adoles cence.
Inderbitzen critically reviews the assessment methods and meth
odologies for social competence and peer relations in adolescence.
Reynolds analyzes contemporary issues and perspectives pertaining
to adolescent depression.
As in past volumes, the current volume of Advances in Clinical
Child Psychology strives for a broad range of timely topics on the
study and treatment of children, adolescents, and families. Volume
18 includes a new array of contributions covering issues pertaining
to treatment, etiol ogy, and psychosocial context. The first two
contributions address conduct problems. Using quali tative research
methods, Webster-Stratton and Spitzer take a unique look at what it
is like to be a parent of a young child with conduct problems as
well as what it is like to be a participant in a parent training
program. Chamberlain presents research on residential and
foster-care treatment for adolescents with conduct disorder. As
these chapters well reflect, Webster-Stratton, Spitzer, and
Chamberlain are all veterans of programmatic research on treatment
of child and adolescent conduct problems. Wills and Filer describe
an emerging stress-coping model that has been applied to adolescent
substance use and is empirically well justi fied. This model has
implications for furthering intervention strategies as well as
enhancing our scientific understanding of adolescents and the
development of substance abuse. Foster, Martinez, and Kulberg
confront the issue that researchers face pertaining to race and
ethnicity as it relates to our understanding of peer relations.
This chapter addresses some of the measurement and conceptual
challenges relative to assessing ethnic variables and relating
these to social cognitions of peers, friendship patterns, and peer
accep tance."

This volume of Advances in Clinical Child Psychology is the third
under our editorship and the seventeenth of the series. It
continues the tradition of examining a broad range of topics and
issues related to the study and treatment of child and adolescent
behavior problems. Over the years, the series has served to
identify important and exciting new developments in the field and
provide scholarly review of current thought and practices. In the
openingchapter, Cichetti, Toth, and Lynch examine attachment theory
and its implications for psychopathology. They provide exacting
commentary on the status of the construct of attachment and its
potential role in the development of diverse psychopathologies.
Similarly, Richards explores the impact of infant cognitive
psychophysiology and its role in normal and abnormal development in
the second chapter. Both of these chapters address issues of risk
for subsequent psychopathology and are deeply embedded in
developmental theory. In Chapter 3/ Nottelmann and Jensen tackle
the important issue of comorbidity in psychiatric diagnosis from a
developmental perspective.
