Child and Adolescent Psychopathology provides a unique opportunity to expose students to a cutting-edge approach to childhood and adolescent disorders by addressing and integrating the most current research on the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors that contribute to them. The text also emphasizes how, when, and why disorders emerge among young people and in what ways symptom profiles change at different stages of development.
