[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Świetna pozycja aby powtórzyć i utrwalić swoją wiedzę o zaburzeniach okresu dzieciństwa. Przegląd podejść dokonany jest skrótowo, skupia się na najważniejszych punktach. Książka serwuje też przejrzyste podsumowanie badań nad zaburzeniami i sposobami ich leczenia. Nie polecałabym jej jednak rodzicom, którzy nie mają przynajmniej minimalnego pojęcia o psychologii, podtytuł o technikach też nie bardzo odnosi się do tej pozycji.

[Jessica Henrichsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy read- I got through it in two sittings. Contains basic and clearly written information that is helpful for anyone wanting to go into a counseling position. They combine research and include causes, courses, and treatment of each disorder that are prevalent in children and adolescents. A useful overview.
