Offers comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis of childhood psychopathology in accordance with the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-III and DSM-III-R). Part 1 addresses general issues--history, current nosology, reliability, and validity. Part 2 contains 18 chapters presenting the most recent empirical findings for each disorder. These chapters are organized in a format similar to that employed in DSM: definition, historical background, clinical picture, associated features, course and prognosis, impairment, complications, epidemiology, familial pattern, differential diagnosis and clinical management. Parts 3 and 4 cover special topics and future directions in child psychiatry.

Anxiety Disorders in Children (Developmental Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry)

This volume not only conveys the latest work on anxiety disorders but points to areas where significant questions remain unanswered. Including an informative array of case studies, laboratory investigations, and epidemiological and diagnostic research, the authors trace conceptualizations of anxiety disorders among children in an historical context as a backdrop for contemporary advances; they examine current theory and research on topics such as etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, assessment, psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments, clinical course and long-term outcome.

Behavior Therapy Casebook (SPRINGER SERIES ON BEHAVIOR THERAPY AND BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE)

Some years ago we edited a general casebook on behavior therapy that was well received. However, those professors who used the book as an adjunct text in child behavior therapy courses were concerned that only 9 of the 26 chapters dealt with the clinical application of behavioral prin ciples to children. Their contention was that a specific casebook on the topic was very much warranted. In considering their comments we took a closer look at the child behavior therapy area and were struck with how diverse it was, how it had expanded, and how it had matured over the last three decades. Given this apparent gap in the literature, we decided to devote an entire casebook to both the standard and the more innovative clinical applications to the behavioral problems presented by children. The resulting book, containing 28 chapters, is divided into two parts. In the first part, in a chapter entitled "How the Field Has Moved On," we briefly trace the historical roots of child behavior therapy, detail the relationship of psychiatric diagnosis and behavioral assessment, and con sider the importance of developmental norms, psychological testing, ef forts at prevention, and behavioral medicine. The bulk of this book, of course, appears in the 27 cases presented by our respective experts. Each of the treatment cases is presented in identical format for pur poses of clarity, consistency, and comparability.
