"This book on the most recent advances in developmental psychopathology explores theory, neuroscience, and various DSM-5 childhood disorders. ... The purpose is to present the cutting-edge theory and research in the field of developmental psychopathology. ... This book is well written by an international collection of experts. The third edition is justified because of the extensive research in developmental psychopathology over the past decade." (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
