You will learn about children and adolescent disorders, treatments, and preventions with Mash/Wolfe/Nguyen Williams’ CHILD PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, 8th Edition, which takes an approach that acknowledges the interconnection of biological, psychological, social, and emotional aspects. You will study each condition from the viewpoint of the complete kid, including the diagnostic criteria, strengths of the person, difficulties pertaining to younger and older age groups, environmental circumstances, and risk and protective variables influencing developmental pathways. The text’s primary sources are case studies, instances, and first-person narratives that vividly illustrate ideas, disorders, and the actual individuals they touch.
