This extremely popular handbook has been thoroughly revised - over half the chapters include new contributors who have generated much of the latest research. Comprehensive and interdisiplinary, the volume addresses treatment and prevention from an empirically based, developmental perspective. Book News Annotation: Details the current status of research and practice in child
psychopathology and clinical child psychology. Part I considers
developmental, etiological, diagnostic, and taxonomic issues in
detail, and addresses clinical formulation of psychopathology. Part
II examines a variety of psychopathologies, with each chapter
organized around issues of definition, diagnosis, etiology,
assessment, and treatment, with case studies. Part III covers
psychological aspects of physical disorders, with chapters on
headaches, AIDS, asthma, diabetes, cancer, abuse and neglect, and
stress. This section reflects the impact of behavioral medicine and
pediatric psychology on the practice of clinical child psychology.
Part IV reviews psychodynamic, behavioral, and psychopharmacological
treatments. This third edition incorporates developments in the field
since 1989, and includes a final chapter on preventive strategies
within the context of a proactive-developmental-ecological
perspective.
