Disorders Of Childhood: Development And Psychopathology
Available To Downloads

Written with the whole child in mind, this book discusses disorders in connection with the different stages of development, providing both a meaningful framework to promote learning. The authors emphasize multi-factor explanations of disorders as well as developmental frameworks and developmental pathways--presenting disorders and sets of disorders in the order in which they typically appear in a child's life. They also focus on the child-in-context (calling attention to the multiple settings in which the child is embedded) and emphasize the importance of taking a broad view that considers the whole child and his or her patterns of interest, abilities, and strengths, rather than a narrow view of a disorder or developmental delay. As a result of this holistic approach, which reflects the most up-to-date understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology, readers learn to think about disorders in the same way that caring adults think about disorders they encounter every day--in terms of an individual child who is coping with distress and dysfunction.

Had to get this for a mixed class of undergraduates and graduates. I do not like how the book reads. I do like the layout of the chapters, but many students in the class told the professor to find another book that clearly states what he wants to teach.

Discription was an understatement. The book is covered in major highlights and markings. They are not minor at all. Now I know that saying that there is minor markings is just a standard description they all write, but if you are going to post a description, make sure it is accurate. I will say though that the item did ship very fast and got to me just in time for classes to start, and the outside of the book looks great. I would return it, but now that classes have started, I need the book now and cannot. The pictures I have posted are only a few pages, some are even worse than this. I would say that 95% of this book is covered in markings. Now to me that is more than just minor markings.

It's a very educational book, however I wish it went a little more in depth of certain key points.

I was worried that this edition that i had to buy for a class wasn't going to address the DSM V, but rest assured it does. Its a text book, but reads pretty okay and implements good case studies.

terrible test bank. A lot of key concepts are not fully explained and it is hard to read. Not written for undergraduate level. If it is without details, you may as well not write it.

I appreciate the seller's honest statement describing the condition of the product. it turned out this used book looks like a brand new , and best price.

Great book! Used it to through child therapy for MFT program. Easy read and the author really extended the index and glossary as well ss the references.

Received it in record time. Items looks almost brand new! Thank you very much!
