When developmental psychologists set forth the theory that the roots
of adult psychopathology could be traced to childhood experience and
behavior, the idea quickly took hold. Subsequently, as significant
research in this area advanced during the past decade, more
sophisticated theory, more accurate research methodologies, and
improved replication of empirical findings have been the result. The
Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology
incorporates these research advances throughout its comprehensive,
up-to-date examination of this diverse and maturing field. Integrative
state-of-the-art models document the complex interplay of risk and
protective factors and other variables contributing to normal and
pathological development. New and updated chapters describe current
refinements in assessment methods and offer the latest research
findings from neuroscience. In addition, the Third Edition provides
readers with a detailed review across the spectrum of salient topics,
from the effects of early deprivation to the impact of puberty. As the
field continues to shift from traditional symptom-based concepts of
pathology to a contemporary, dynamic paradigm, the Third Edition
addresses such key topics as: Early Childhood disorders, including
failure to thrive and attachment disorders. Aggression, ADHD, and
other disruptive conditions. Developmental models of depression,
anxiety, self-injury/suicide, and OCD. The autism spectrum and other
chronic developmental disorders. Child maltreatment and trauma
disorders. The Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental
Psychopathology is a discipline-defining, forward-looking resource for
researchers, clinicians, scientist-practitioners, and graduate
students in such fields as developmental psychology, psychiatry,
social work, child and school psychology, educational psychology, and
pediatrics.
