Casebook in Child Behavior Disorders

by Christopher A. Kearney

This casebook illustrates the rich and arresting nature of disorders that first manifest themselves in childhood and shows how the child's developmental patterns shape the expression of each disorder. Each complex case demonstrates how each disorder is expressed-from presentation through diagnosis and treatment-in a way that a case excerpt within a chapter simply can not do. Throughout the book, the author explores the DSM-IV-TR criteria and demonstrates the interaction between developmental and environmental influences for each disorder.

[Timothy Riley · Rating 2 out of 5]

I only read this book because I was paid to. The examples are completely dated at this point. Some of the theories and treatment were fairly interesting. I always struck by how prevalent these issues are in today's society. By now we should know how to prevent them and treat them early.
