Their shared experience and expertise covers all aspects of developmental psychology, behaviour and emotional disorders and types of therapy. As in the two previous editions, there is special emphasis on developmental considerations and on ways in which physical health and psychological problems interact. This new edition contains additional sections on adolescence. The book will provide necessary and useful information for all professional dealing with disturbed children and their families.
