This book presents a dynamic perspective for diagnosing and treating psychopathology among young populations. It offers a theoretical framework - derived from extensive experimentation and analysis - which allows readers to comprehend the etiology of infant and childhood affective disorders, most notably depression. Beginning with an introduction to the theory of child psychopathology, the book considers populations particularly susceptible to depressive disorders in light of the theory of child depression, and features specific criteria to apply to clinical cases for formulating a diagnosis and choosing an appropriate course of therapy. In addition, the book contrasts normal and deviant behavior throughout as an illustration of concepts.
