Abnormal Child Psychology

I am currently using this book for a course on psychological disorders of childhood. If you want to save $100+ by purchasing the third edition vs. the fourth edition... go for it! Hardly any changes have been made between the two editions. It's an interesting read - boring at times, but overall, it keeps my attention. They're short chapters (30-40 pages each), but they're full of information.

I got the international version, because I wanted a soft cover (it's lighter and easier to carry through the marathon around champus). I'm rather happy with it, it appears to be pretty much identical to the U.S. version (which is much more expensive as well). Just the colors are a bit dull (not sure if the U.S. version is like that, too).

This book is an amazing tool to use when dealing with children who are suffering with a childhood disorder. I highly recommend this book!

The book was delivered timely and in very good condition. Most Chapters had information highlights which was an advantage for me.

A first-rate resource that looks at child and adolescent psychopathology that looks at pathology from a developmental, clinical, diagnostic, and experimental perspective. Sections discuss abnormal child psychology, behavioral disorders, emotional disorders, developmental and learning disorders, and problems related to physical and mental health.This book is logically formatted, easy to understand, yet deep enough to take student and practitioner alike to the next level in their understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology.
