Overview
Balancing developmental, clinical-diagnostic and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology, Mash/Wolfe/Nguyen Williams' CHILD PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, International Edition 8th Edition, is one of the most up-to-date, authoritative and comprehensive books in its market. The 8th Edition is organized to reflect DSM-5-TR categories, dimensional approaches to classification and evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches. The authors trace developmental pathways for each disorder and show how child and adolescent psychopathology involves biological, psychological and sociocultural factors interacting with a youth's environment. Case histories, examples, and first-person accounts illustrate the categorical and dimensional approaches used to describe disorders.
- New Learning Objectives begin each chapter and focus students' attention on the key takeaways and topics from the chapter.
- New Section Summary Questions appear at the end of each reading section, prompting students to reflect and check their understanding of the material.
- A comprehensive and integrative approach pays special attention to advances in child psychopathology and focuses on the child, not just the disorders.
- A logical four-part framework organization helps students understand the individual disorders and master the material.
- Current findings regarding the reliability and validity of DSM diagnostic criteria for specific disorders are discussed, with attention to issues, features and disorders new to the DSM-5-TR.
- Discussions about key cultural and diversity issues provide students opportunities to gain increased awareness of how biases and unique perspectives are critical to understanding child psychopathology and the whole child.
- First-person accounts and case histories help students grasp the real-world impact of disorders.
- "A Closer Look" boxes draw students into the material and enrich each topic with engaging additional information. Examples include "What Are the Long-Term Criminal Consequences of Child Maltreatment?", "Common Fears in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence" and "Did Darwin Have a Panic Disorder?"
- In-depth coverage of the developmental process's role in understanding each disorder and close attention to important sex, gender and cultural variations in the expression, determinants and outcomes of child and adolescent disorders, promote a greater understanding of child psychopathology.
- Disorders are organized around DSM-5-TR criteria and summarized in DSM-5-TR tables to present the disorders' primary characteristics as accurately and clearly as possible.
