Purchase options and add-ons

Robert Weis′ third edition of Introduction to Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology adopts a developmental psychopathology approach to understanding child disorders. Using case studies, this perspective examines the emergence of disorders over time, pays special attention to risk and protective factors that influence developmental processes and trajectories, and examines child psychopathology in the context of normal development.  Designed to be flexible via its focused modular organization, the text reflects the latest changes to the DSM (DSM 5, 2013) and is updated with new research and developments in the field.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The major strength of the text is the inclusion of DSM–5 information―that’s why I chose this book. It is also very comprehensive in its coverage of epidemiology, course, etiology, and comorbidities for each disorder. Students really enjoy the case studies in the text."

-- Meredith C. Joppa

"This text is superior to the text that I am currently using. It is much more thorough and incorporates more research into the discussion."

-- Carolyn R. Fallahi

"I very much like the writing style, tone, and level of this text."

-- Donna B. Pincus

"This text, overall, provides much more detail relative to other texts like it. This allows professors to determine the extent to which they would like to discuss a certain topic."

-- Jennifer Blossom

5.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging and Evidence-Based Text
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
I’ve used this book for three years in my abnormal child psychology course. I like it because it provides comprehensive coverage of all of the major childhood disorders and their treatment, but is organized in a way that lets me pick and choose topics that I want to emphasize. Its focus is on developmental psychopathology and evidence based treatment, so it provides good coverage of the scientific literature and research base. It’s also written for beginning students, so the writing style is clear and engaging without being overly simplistic. I'd recommend using it with advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students.

In this new edition, chapters are organized into smaller modules (e.g., description of the disorder, epidemiology, causes, treatment). Then, each module is organized into research questions (e.g., How does major depressive disorder differ as a function of children’s age, gender, and ethnicity?) with summaries that briefly answer each question. This organization makes chapters more manageable for students and motivates them to read. I should also add that this text is much less expensive than others like it, which is important to me. Overall, I really like the coverage and presentation of this book as well as the ancillary materials that accompany it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good balance between research & practice
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2008
Verified Purchase
This book provides a nice introduction to abnormal child psychology. I especially like the way it integrates research with examples of real-world practice. The introductory chapters focus mostly on the principles of developmental psychopathology, ethics in research and practice with children, assessment, and diagnosis. Later chapters focus on specific disorders. Each chapter presents several "case studies" and shows how clinicians might use empirically supported treatments to help children with that specific disorder. Some of the things I liked about this book was that it has specific sections on adolescent substance use problems and pediatric bipolar disorder. I also liked the fact that it gives detailed descriptions of both psychosocial and pharmaceutical treatments and summaries of the research studies that support each treatment's use. Nothing is dumbed-down, but neither is it too difficult to understand. One weakness is a lack of emphasis on pediatric psychology. Still, a good book for undergraduates or beginning graduate students.
