About this title

Review

"This is a truly scholarly book. It provides a comprehensive and critical review of much of the research that has marked this area in the last ten years. Some sections are among the best of their kind that I have read. The book with its detailed, comprehensive, and scholarly approach to psychopathology goes well beyond the usual textbook." --David Shaffer, M.D., F.R.C.P. (London), F.R.C.Psych (London), Irving Philips Professor of Child Psychiatry, Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, Director, Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, New York State Psychiatric Institute "Drs. Mash and Barkley have brought together some of the best clinician-researchers in the field of child psychology and child psychiatry in a comprehensive and timely review of critical topics in developmental psychopathology. This book offers a stimulating balance of theory, clinical wisdom, and practical recommendation which will be useful to the practicing clinician as well as to the student, the researcher, and to anyone interested in the well-being of children and adolescents." --Joseph Biederman, MD, Chief, Joint Program in Pediatric Psychopharmacology; Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Current and relevant research included." --David B.

Russac in Science Books and Films "When published in 1996, the first edition of "Child Psychopathology" completed a trilogy of work edited by Dr. Mash and his coeditors, Dr. Barkley and Dr. Terdal....At all times, the material is accessible to trainees as well as to experienced clinicians....this series by Drs.

The material is covered in great depth, providing the reader with an exceedingly comprehensive picture of each disorder....I would recommend this outstanding text to any pediatric health care professional who wants to expand his or her scientific knowledge base about the broad range of disorders encompassing the behavioral, emotional, developmental, and learning disorders of infancy, childhood, and adolescence. The editors and authors are to be commended for putting out what I believe is the state-of-the-art text on the current science of child psychopathology." --"Emergency and Office Pediatrics" "The book is a mine of information.
