The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology offers a concise and comprehensive survey of the history and trajectory of this interdisciplinary field. Moving beyond a focus on single disorders, contributors tackle issues that cut across diagnostic categories. In addition to covering theories of and methodologies used to study developmental psychopathology, the handbook features up-to-date empirical research on cognitive, neurobiological, genetic, and environmental influences on development. The collection concludes with a section dedicated to evaluating the impact of DSM-5 and how our modern conception of developmental psychopathology influences public policy. Presenting a theoretically informed and practically grounded overview of this dynamic discipline, The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology is an essential resource for researchers, students, and practitioners alike.
