The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology

The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology offers a concise and comprehensive survey of the history and trajectory of this interdisciplinary field. Moving beyond a focus on single disorders, contributors tackle issues that cut across diagnostic categories. In addition to covering theories of and methodologies used to study developmental psychopathology, the handbook features up–to–date empirical research on cognitive, neurobiological, genetic, and environmental influences on development. The collection concludes with a section dedicated to evaluating the impact of DSM–5 and how our modern conception of developmental psychopathology influences public policy.

Presenting a theoretically informed and practically grounded overview of this dynamic discipline, The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology is an essential resource for researchers, students, and practitioners alike.
