9780898623956: Behavior Probs Preschool Child

Présentation de l'éditeur

Now in a revised and updated second edition, this essential volume provides a comprehensive clinical-developmental framework for understanding and treating behavior problems in early childhood. Examining the developmental tasks and transitions that young children face in cognitive, social, and family contexts, the book helps readers distinguish between typical, age-appropriate behaviors and those that may signify a more persistent problem. Epidemiological and diagnostic information is presented; risk and protective factors discussed; and intervention approaches reviewed. Including a wealth of case examples, many chapters in the second edition have been entirely rewritten and all have been substantially updated to reflect new directions in the burgeoning field of developmental psychopathology. Incorporated are important new findings on family and peer influences on development; data from longitudinal outcome studies, prevention trials, and treatment studies; and recommendations for improving the quality and availability of child care and early intervention programs.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume provides a comprehensive clinical/n-/developmental framework for understanding and treating behavior problems in early childhood. Susan B. Campbell offers a highly readable account of the developmental tasks and transitions that young children face in cognitive, social, and family domains, and examines why and what happens when development goes awry. Particular attention is given to the critical question of how certain children manage to successfully overcome difficult transitions, while others face the risk of serious, ongoing problems. Empirically supported prevention and treatment approaches are reviewed.
