Synopsis

While the developmental relevance of young children's behavior problems is now generally recognized, there has been a marked paucity of information on the topic. Filling a gap in the literature, this volume focuses exclusively on children from toddlerhood through the preschool period. Integrating theory with clinical and developmental research with theoretical issues, and presenting a wealth of illustrative case material, it provides a clinically rich and highly readable account of this significant stage in the behavioral development of children.

Review

"Until publication of Campbell's recent book, it was difficult to find guidance for mental health professionals working with preschool-age children...that reflected a contemporary developmental framework, was empirically well versed, and offered clinically useful information....Campbell's book on behavior problems in preschool children is a model of the developmental approach applied to clinical problems. It is a well written, useful presentation of the state of the art and science." -- Contemporary Psychology "Until publication of Campbell's recent book, it was difficult to find guidance for mental health professionals working with preschool-age children...that reflected a contemporary developmental framework, was empirically well versed, and offered clinically useful information....Campbell's book on behavior problems in preschool children is a model of the developmental approach applied to clinical problems.
