Description
The Preschool Child: Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment presents a dynamic perspective for diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders among young populations. In addition, the book offers a theoretical framework that permits readers to comprehend the psychopathology of the preschool child. This framework is derived from an extensive compilation and analysis of pertinent experimental data in the field, presenting readers with a unique blend of theoretical analysis and concise treatment techniques that can be applied in clinical practice.
Each treatment strategy presented in The Preschool Child is pragmatically tailored to each of the psychiatric conditions discussed—offering clinicians coherent strategies for devising effective, usable modes of diagnosis and therapy. Based on perspectives that include a comprehensive developmental framework, epidemiology, nosological classification, interactional dynamics, and neuroendocrinological analysis, the book rigorously explores historical and recent views that have shaped diagnostic and treatment approaches to psychopathology in this very young population.
