Foundation of Field

Behavior Disorders of Childhood is an absolute must read for students in the field of child clinical psychology, school psychology, and child psychiatry. The content in this book will provide a foundation on which future learnings can be placed. It is very well written and full of details about the field of developmental psychopathology, causal factors, and particular childhood disorders. With so many claims in the pop literature, this book is a wonderful resource to help others understand what is true and what is not so true. I also recommend this book to parents who have an intense need to know the research in the field.
