Developmental Psychopathology / Edition 5

by Charles Wenar, Patricia Kerig

Overview

This accessible, clearly written text approaches child psychopathology as “normal development gone awry” and encourages students to “think developmentally” about psychopathology, from childhood through adolescence. The fifth edition includes cutting-edge research, improved organization, and new coverage of problems that arise in late adolescence/early adulthood.
