Booknews
A textbook for a course introducing childhood psychopathology. Wicks- Nelson (Marshall U., Huntington, West Virginia) and Israel (State U. of New York-Albany) assume that the developmental model can contribute much to understanding childhood behavior problems, that such problems are the result of interactions among variables, and that they require a systematic and scientific inquiry that combines empirical approaches and theoretical frameworks. Previous editions were published between 1984 and 1997. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
