Casebook in Child Behavior Disorders

Casebook in Child Behavior Disorders, 6th Edition, examines conditions that first manifest in childhood. The text illustrates how a child's developmental patterns influence the expression of behavioral disorders across clinical contexts.

The volume explores DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and examines the interaction between developmental and environmental influences for each disorder. Case presentations follow disorders from their initial presentation through diagnosis and treatment.

To promote independent thinking, the book provides mixed cases that prompt students to apply their knowledge and arrive at their own diagnoses.
