Eric J. Mash Bücher

Updating and expanding a critically acclaimed and widely adopted work, this new edition offers a thorough, authoritative examination of empirically established treatments for serious psychological problems in childhood. Providing complete coverage of contemporary approaches and techniques, chapters include such timely topics as accountability in treatment, cultural sensitivity, integrated treatment practices, and new approaches to early intervention and prevention.

Accessible to a range of readers, this book traces the developmental course of each disorder and shows how biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors interact with a child's environment. It illustrates how troubled children behave in their natural settings: homes, schools, and communities.
