Internalizing Disorders in Children and Adolescents

Distinguishing those psychopathological conditions that are internalized (depression, excess anxiety, obsessions) from those that are externalized (conduct disorders, psychopathy), this book examines the former as a special class of disorders in children and adolescents. In separate sections, it deals with the nature and classification of these disorders, provides a chapter each on the specific disorders, then looks at the behavioural manifestations and consequences. Discussing these disorders as a related group helps clarify their dynamics and the prospects for intervention, and examines the whole concept of internalization as a mental process that can be disordered.
