During the past several decades, interest in children's psychological disorders has grown steadily within the research community, resulting in a burgeoning knowledge base. The majority of the attention and funding, not surprisingly, has focused on the more prevalent and well-known conditions. Although this raises the odds that young people with more well-known disorders such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders will receive much-needed professional assessment and intervention, children with less frequently encountered disorders may experience a higher risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Useful data has been scattered throughout the literature for severe-but-less-frequent childhood psychological disorders, including: fire setting; gender identity disorder; impulse control disorders (i.e., kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder); selective mutism; Munchausen by proxy; childhood schizophrenia; gang involvement; sexual offending; self-injurious behavior; and feral children. This concise volume offers up-to-date information on these conditions, which, though relatively rare, may have profound effect not only on the children themselves but also their families, friends, and the community at large. Coverage of each disorder is presented in an accessible format covering:
- Overview and history.
- Description and diagnostic classification, with proposed changes to the DSM-V.
- Etiology and theory.
- Ass
Assessing and Treating Low Incidence/High Severity Psychological Disorders of Childhood is a must-have reference for researchers, clinicians, practitioners, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work, school counseling, education, and public policy.

"Overall, Assessing and Treating Low Incidence/High Severity Psychological Disorders of Childhood fills a critical gap in the child psychopathology reference literature through its integration of historical context, theoretical frameworks, etiological processes, assessment, treatment, and research recommendations for multiple rare but serious childhood conditions. It will be a helpful tool for researchers and academics across disciplines, as well as for clinicians seeking a solid background in uncommon but serious psychological conditions among youths."

"This is an exceptionally relevant and informative work for clinicians and researchers who work with disturbed youth. The chapters are comprehensive, interesting, informative, and up to date. I believe that the authors have made a significant and elegant contribution to the literature through their careful and detailed analysis of rare disorders that are exceptionally problematic. This is an outstanding work that greatly contributes to our understanding of childhood psychopathology. I most strongly recommend it."

"This volume addresses one of the critical needs in child clinical and school psychology. Most writing on child psychopathology addresses the most common pathologies (ADHD, Autism, Intellectual Handicaps, Learning Disabilities, etc.). However, there are a number of low incidence conditions that professionals, whether working in private practice or in institutional settings, will rarely see in their careers. Thus, they need help in (a) understanding the literature on these conditions and patterns of behavior, (b) have some guidance on diagnosis and etiology of the conditions, and (c) some

"Dombrowski, Gischlar, and Mrazik (2011) have constructed a handbook resource for those who encounter children with low incidence/high severity psychological disorders that provides an unparalleled compilation of some of the most infrequently seen psychological disorders of childhood. It will likely serve as not only a resource for practitioners, but also as a text for trainers working with future psychology clinicians. The text is well-organized and comprehensive and should be a go-to resource for psychologists or other clinical professionals who treat children with severe psychological conditions."

"Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing provides the reader with a strong and detailed description of the processes and principles of psychoeducational assessment and reporting writing with the school-aged child. The chapters are well written and the author utilizes practical expertise with real-world examples that are easy to follow. The text is clear, detailed, and interesting. Any professionals responsible for psychoeducational evaluations of school-aged children or trainers of these professionals will benefit from its content and practicality.”
