DESCRIPTION:
Students (at any level) reading this book will surely learn a lot about child psychopathology." (Michael L. This book will fill an important niche." (Eric Youngstrom, Ph.D.) . "Wilmshurst exhibits a firm grasp, understanding, and presentation of a broad range of current issues in the field of psychopathology. The case examples are excellent and bring to life issues typically encountered in 'real life' cases. The variety in cases was also appealing. Additional strengths include the attention to empirically supported treatments, along with a variety of different theoretical perspectives in terms of case conceptualization.

Through the process of exploring realistic, complex cases, students learn to integrate theory into the research-based assessments and interventions they have already learned and will be better prepared to assess and treat children.
