Description

As the demand for mental health care for children and adolescents continues to grow, Introduction to Child and Adolescent Psychopathology provides a comprehensive and practical guide to understanding mental disorders and their evidence-based treatments. Using a developmental psychopathology approach, author Robert Weis begins each chapter with a description of the disorder, including the complete DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria, prevalence, and associated features. The causes of each disorder are analyzed from three broad levels of analysis (biological, psychological, and social - cultural) to foster understanding. Each chapter then concludes with discussion of evidence-based treatments and their efficacy, using criteria established by the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The author draws on updated research throughout with special attention to developments since the COVID-19 pandemic, including an increase in digital media use. Case studies and pedagogy throughout the text help readers understand and retain the material.
