Description:

This book provides an overview of the most commonly occurring psychiatric disorders of middle childhood. The author discusses diagnostic principles, developmental considerations, environmental correlates, commonly occurring types of disorders, and treatment methods. Theories and procedures are outlined and evaluated, often illustrated with case histories. For the paraprofessional, student, or parent who is seeking a reasonably comprehensive and non-technical survey of child psychiatric theory and practice, this text is recommended.
