Customer Reviews

excellent but advanced

I agree wholeheartedly with the product description and what the reviewers said. As a master's student in psychology, this is the most advanced text in psychology I have ever read. It requires patience, determination, and i would say an underlying love of the subject. however, if you want to know about the disorders and research on them, this is the book.

Not a light read...

The previous edition of this book was required reading for a Developmental Psychopathology course I completed as part of my graduate training program in educational psychology. Another more "reader-friendly" text was also required; however, I found myself referencing this book often as it is probably the definitive source of empirically based information in this subject area. I highly recommend this book for graduate students or professionals accustomed to reviewing research literature. Do not purchase this book if you are unfamiliar with chapters outlined by subsections with titles such as epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic considerations, differential diagnosis, comorbidity, and developmental outcomes.

came as ordered

The book came in a timely manner and arrived in new condition exactly as I ordered it. Very pleased.
