Description
Written with the whole child in mind, Parritz and Troy’s DISORDERS OF CHILDHOOD, 4th EDITION, presents disorders in the context of typical development and developmental pathways, providing a meaningful framework to promote students’ learning and a practical, true-to-life approach for organizing the course. For each disorder, Parritz and Troy emphasize the continuity between typical and atypical development, risk and resilience, complex models of psychopathology, children in relationships over time, children in larger social contexts, and the holistic nature of development. This edition’s updates include expanded coverage of risk and resilience across disorders, increased focus on diversity, explicit emphasis on health equity and related public policy issues, and expanded coverage of disorders diagnosed during late adolescence and early adulthood. This edition continues to reflect the most up-to-date understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology and evidence-based treatment.
