| dc.description.abstract | Reviews the book, Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: Theoretical and Clinical Implications edited by Cecilia A. Essau (see record 2006-09746-000). According to the reviewers, this is a book that covers a lot of ground in child psychopathology, complete with research findings and clinical theoretical models. Some issues affecting child psychopathology that are included are: maternal depression, low birth weight, resilience; and childhood disorders. Also included in the book are brief and to-the-point descriptions of numerous diagnostic entities of child psychopathology complete with the main Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.; DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) diagnostic features, epidemiology, comorbidity data, etiological factors, course of disorders, assessment, clinical implications, and treatment methods for each disorder. The reviewers also note that the chapters' authors follow a concise, almost universal style of writing, which allows for easy reading and would satisfy the educational needs of advanced undergraduate students, graduate and medical students, and mental health professionals.
