Subsequent chapters synthesize the developmental bases of specific disorders. The characteristics, epidemiology, developmental course and outcomes, and etiological pathways of each disorder are described, as are risk and protective factors and issues in conceptualization and diagnosis.

Doody's Review Service

Reviewer: Christopher J Graver, PhD, ABPP-CN(Madigan Healthcare System)
Description: This is the third edition of a well-respected book on child psychopathology by very capable authors.
Purpose: This edition updates about a decade's worth of new information and research, as well as the changes in psychopathology definitions and criteria resulting from DSM-5.
Audience: This is appropriate for any clinicians involved in pediatric behavioral health, from psychologists to psychiatrists to pediatricians. It is written at a more advanced level, but can be appropriate for graduate level courses as well as for practicing clinicians. The editors and authors are well respected in the field and are frequent contributors to the scholarly literature.
Features: The book is divided into sections based on the diagnostic categories with specific disorders covered in each chapter. Chapters cover the same basic areas: historical perspective; nature of the behavior, symptoms, or deficits; criteria to establish the diagnosis; epidemiological knowledge; developmental course; comorbidity; and etiology. Each chapter aims to provide current information from the literature, limitations of our knowledge or areas of controversy, and future directions for study, and these goals are largely met. It is also refreshing to see additional factors covered, such as sociodemographic, cultural, and gender differences that should be well within diagnostic and treatment considerations for clinicians. Additionally, there is excellent coverage of pathological entities that are research supported, but not necessarily in the official DSM-5 nomenclature. This can help clinicians advance their true understanding of these conditions well beyond a few criteria on a page. One drawback is the fairly dense text with tables that are helpful, but very few figures or graphs that would help with data assimilation, especially for epidemiological data. It is surprising to see entire chapters without any visual aids besides a DSM criteria table. The references are pertinent and have been updated to the last year, probably the time book went to press.
Assessment: This is a stellar offering for child psychopathology and continues a tradition of being a leading text in the field. This edition clearly has been updated with current references to ongoing changes in the field. It is well worth acquiring to stay abreast of the literature in this vast area.

From the Publisher

"Mash and Barkley score big with this third edition. This book has become the classic in the field, and the third edition will seal its status for years to come. Eminent contributors weave interesting and intricate descriptions of the various disorders and problems in living. The book is squarely at the interface of clinical practice and intervention science and will go a long way toward bridging the gap between them. Students and professionals alike will benefit from this stimulating, up-to-date volume."--Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, ABPP, University Distinguished Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director, Child Study Center, Virginia Tech

"The third edition of Child Psychopathology reviews current research and theory, provides conceptual models for disorders, and points to new developments in the field. Nineteen chapters cover the major disorders of childhood, including four timely new chapters and 15 that have been superbly updated. Many of the authors from the second edition have remained on board, providing welcome continuity. This volume is the source for understanding the state of the field of child psychopathology. It is a 'must read' for professionals and for graduate-level courses."--Rex Forehand, PhD, University Distinguished Professor and Heinz and Rowena Ansbacher Professor of Psychology, University of Vermont

"The third edition of this highly esteemed work sets the standard for the field by providing comprehensive coverage of childhood disorders from a developmental psychopathology perspective. Like previous editions, the volume is skillfully edited and chapters are written by leading experts in the field. Important additions to this edition include a description of childhood disorders based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. This volume is an ideal text for graduate courses in child psychopathology as well as an invaluable resource about childhood disorders that can be used to guide and inform evidence-based assessment and treatment."--Bryce D. McLeod, PhD, Department of Psychology, Virginia Commonwealth University
