Through a thoughtful and accurate balance of developmental, clinical-diagnostic, and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology, Eric Mash and David Wolfe's ABNORMAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY remains the most authoritative, scholarly, and comprehensive book in its market. This edition has been organized and updated to reflect DSM-5 categories, as well as dimensional approaches to classification and evidence-based assessment and treatment. Accessible to a broad range of readers, the book traces the developmental course of each disorder. It also shows how child psychopathology involves biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors interacting with a child's environment. Case histories, case examples, and first-person accounts are at the heart of the book, illustrating the categorical and dimensional approaches used to describe disorders and bringing life to the theories discussed. The authors also consistently illustrate how troubled children behave in their natural settings: homes, schools, and communities.

Was so easy to use on my Kindle and better than having to carry around and return the book. Although it is always easy to return rented text books through I still enjoyed just having it on my Kindle.

Unusually cogent and theoretically sound. Appreciate the effort to be clear without dumbing down the material.

Really good book and it is totally worth renting through here. It has become very useful in my class so far.

Some texts at the start are marked by highlights but overall, still excellent. Thanks :) arrived just in time

Great book, very well written. Authors used good examples in every chapter which helped a lot.

Too much information that is really required for a 3000-level class.

Product was exactly as described and arrived quickly!

Great product, in good shape.
