Disorders of Childhood: Development and Psychopathology 4th Edition by Robin Hornik Parritz/Michael F. Troy
Quick Navigation

Overview

Written with the whole child in mind, Parritz and Troy’s DISORDERS OF CHILDHOOD, 4th EDITION, presents disorders in the context of typical development and developmental pathways, providing a meaningful framework to promote students' learning and a practical, true-to-life approach for organizing the course. For each disorder, Parritz and Troy emphasize the continuity between typical and atypical development, risk and resilience, complex models of psychopathology, children in relationships over time, children in larger social contexts, and the holistic nature of development. This edition’s updates include expanded coverage of risk and resilience across disorders, increased focus on diversity, explicit emphasis on health equity and related public policy issues, and expanded coverage of disorders diagnosed during late adolescence and early adulthood. This edition continues to reflect the most up-to-date understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology and evidence-based treatment.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Multi-factor explanations of disorders (encompassing biological, psychological and sociocultural factors) are examined in detailed analyses of etiologies, assessments, diagnoses, developmental pathways, and interventions.
  • Themed feature boxes -- The Child in Context, Clinical Perspectives, Risk and Resilience, and Emerging Science -- support the book's overall approach and highlight important topics of interest to students.
  • With this text, students learn to think about disorders in the same way that caring adults think about the children and the disorders they encounter every day -- in terms of an individual child who is coping with distress and dysfunction.
  • Extensive use of case studies brings concepts to life.
  • A section at the beginning of each chapter summarizes the developmental tasks and challenges experienced by typically developing children that are especially relevant given the disorders discussed in the chapter.
  • Chapters are sequenced to reflect the typical course of development, which allows students to consider specific disorders and sets of disorders that occur in a particular developmental period in proximity and relation to one another.
