by Michael Rutter (Editor)

This text provides an account of current knowledge through the integration of empirical findings with clinical experience and practice. In this way it provides an appraisal of the current state of the field to help clinicians in their daily work. This third edition has been completely reorganized and in many cases chapters have been divided and expanded. Overall there is more emphasis on clinical practice and less pure theory.
