Psychology

A supplementary text for upper-level undergraduate/beginning graduate-level courses in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology. Also appropriate for courses in psychiatric social work, nursing, and counseling. Although there are many case study books that focus on adults diagnosed with various psychological disorders, this is the first casebook devoted exclusively to major child and adolescent disorders and their common treatments. Consistent with the standard texts available, it organizes disorders according to the DSM-IV, and allows students to “diagnose” and consider treatment options before seeing how a case was actually diagnosed and treated. It provides detailed descriptions of a range of clinical problems affecting children and adolescents, and illustrates some of the ways these problems can be examined and treated.

• Organizes content into two sections:

  • Section I presents case scenarios along with space for students to write their ideas about diagnosis and treatment. Pg.___

  • Section II includes the diagnosis made by the therapist in the case, the rationale behind the diagnosis, and treatment considerations. Pg.___

• Presents cases that focus on “classic” symptoms and problematic issues. Pg.___

• Stresses the social context in which symptoms occur — even when these social factors are not directly related to diagnosis. Pg.___

  • Emphasizes that social context may be critical in determining a person's overall adjustment — i.e., the disorders of children and adolescents often involve social influences from family, school, or other environments that often contribute to or reinforce the disorder exhibited by the child or adolescent. Pg.___

• Presents diagnoses that were made utilizing the most recent criteria established in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders from the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV, 1994). Pg.___

• Features cases that are based on actual clinical experience, primarily that of the author, but in some instances, that of colleagues and students. Pg.___

  • Various demographic characteristics (names, locations, and occupations) and some concrete clinical details have been changed to insure the anonymity of clients and their families. Pg.___

  • In some instances, the cases are composites of clinical problems with which the author has dealt. Pg.___
