Child and Adolescent Psychopathology

Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: A Casebook, 5th Edition, serves as a supplemental textbook that demonstrates assessment and treatment methods through real-life clinical cases. The text situates a broad range of childhood and adolescent conditions within the diagnostic framework of the DSM-5.

Coverage examines conditions across diverse settings, exploring presentations such as ADHD, childhood-onset bipolar disorder, and social phobia. Each profile illustrates how clinicians evaluate complex behavioral and emotional concerns in practical contexts.

The volume provides opportunities to develop clinical skills through multi-source evaluation. Using introductory material such as "The Case of Terry Hogan," learners practice distinguishing atypical patterns from normal behavior across developmental stages.
