Review :
"Superb...Within an integrative biopsychosocial framework, the outstanding contributors provide comprehensive coverage of adolescent disorders and interventions. Chapters effectively describe the state of knowledge about this unique and challenging period of development...Well written for students as well as for fledgling and seasoned professionals." - Michael C. Roberts, Clinical Child Psychology Program, University of Kansas, USA "Until fairly recently, adolescence was a relatively neglected period in developmental and clinical research: scholars tended to 'infer up' from childhood or 'infer down' from adulthood. This volume testifies to the changing state of the field. Its depth and breadth suggest that research on adolescent psychopathology and treatment has at last come of age...A good choice as a text for graduate courses in adolescent psychopathology and treatment." - Sharon L. Foster, California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University, USA "Knowledge and interest in psychopathology during adolescence is exploding, and this timely volume provides an excellent overview of this rapidly growing field. Chapters by a stellar group of authors systematically address state-of-the-art science and practice for a wide array of specific disorders and behavioral health problems faced by adolescents and their families and communities." - Ann S. Masten, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, USA "Timely, well-researched, and cohesive...The authors have done a remarkable job of putting together a thought-provoking text that is a genuine contribution to helping all of us understand the complex, fast-changing world of adolescence." - APA PsycCRITIQUES
