Summary: An excellent, research-based resource.
Review: In studying psychopathology I have come to appreciate that there is a world of difference between how an adult presents, and how a child presents. I firmly believe that counselor training programs should focus on child psychopathology in addition to studying general psychopathology, and this book should be used as the primary text. This book goes a long way in illuminating the differences in children's mental health issues. Child psychology is in another universe and the practioner would do well to consult this comprehensive resource that contains articles by leading practioners in the field.

Summary: Comprehensive, brilliant discussion of a major social issue
Review: Perhaps the most crucial social issue of our time is addressed in as comprehensive and skillful a manner as I have seen. Of particular value is chapter 21, "Impulse Control Disorders Not Elsewhere Classified," wherein Steven Thurber and associate, clarify and successfully delineate a long-time problem within the monumentally crucial arena of Disorders of the Young. This specific chapter, in tandem with the overall approach of the book, affords the reader the valuable distinction between generally accepted mythical and unsubstantiated beliefs (i.e., beliefs that are almost "Hollywood-like" portrayals and "theories" of human behavior), and scientifically demonstrated and supported realities of the human condition.
