This supplemental textbook provides an abundance of "real life" cases which demonstrate methods in assessing and treating a wide spectrum of child and adolescent psychopathologies in a variety of settings.

Each case presents an opportunity to practice and develop clinical skills in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood disorders from a number of theoretical perspectives and at various levels of interest and expertise. The book features current trends in assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and research, and is an ideal hands-on resource for a child and adolescent psychopathology course.

Review:

"Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is easy to read and understand. It provides a solid discussion of case conceptualization, which is lacking in many textbooks. Additionally, the book provides discussions of the various factors that may have impacted the individual in the case study."

(Wendy K. Killam)

"This text allows students to learn DSM in all its technicality, but provides the practicality of modeling assessment (information gathering) and diagnosis (clinical decision-making) within realistic and contemporary cases."

(Jeffrey M. Smith)

"These sections are exceptionally well written and could be readily used in an assessment or testing class to understand differential diagnosis."

(Eraina Schauss)

"Each chapter is well organized and, easy to read, offering the student an opportunity to connect theory with practice."

(Gregory Canillas)

"Child and Adolescent Psychopathology provides an exemplary variety of case studies that an education specialist or school psychologist would encounter throughout their career."

(Lisa Clark Keith)

"I think the organization is excellent and the scope of topics covered is appropriate."

(Martha Mendez-Baldwin)
