In this current and scholarly text, authors Eric Mash and David Wolfe achieve a balance between developmental, clinical-diagnostic, and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology.

The authors focus on the child--not just the disorders--and include first-person accounts and cases to enrich the reader's understanding of what children with these disorders experience, emphasizing the strengths of individual children.
