Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: A Casebook

By Linda Wilmshurst

Book Overview

Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: A Casebook provides 25 real-life cases to give students a deeper understanding of a wide range of disorders within the context of the DSM-5. As they explore complex cases, students learn to integrate theory into research-based assessments and interventions. Each case provides opportunities to practice clinical skills in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood disorders from a number of theoretical perspectives and at various levels of interest and expertise. Reflecting the latest developments in the field, the Fourth Edition now includes a new case study on social phobia/social anxiety disorder, additional post-case questions, and an expanded introductory chapter discussing trends in case formulation.

Excellent book for counselors

I purchased this book for a class in psychopathology. The book is well-written, gives diagnosis' after each case, and an easy but interesting read. I highly recommend this book, especially for people entering the school counseling/psychologist field!
