About this title

Review

."..an excellent overview of the field of developmental psychopathology...[T]his book covers many interesting theoretical and clinical topics. I would recommend this book to researchers and clinicians interested in both development and psychopathology across the life span." Contemporary Psychology "This edited volume discusses a range of topics relevant to the field of developmental psychopathology through a well grouped series of scholarly papers. The distinctive work of Edward Zigler, to whom the book is a tribute, is highlighted and reflected throughout this book...Intended for use as a textbook in developmental psychopathology, this volume will do well for the upper level undergraduate as well as graduate student. In addition, the wide scope of topics and multiple perspectives lends itself useful to students and researchers within child development, clinical psychology, psychiatry, and other related fields."
