Description

Clinical child psychology is a rapidly growing and diversifying discipline which has undergone radical changes during the last twenty years. This book has a systematic and coherent 'story line' integrating the confusingly disparate findings, data and ideas that abound in work with children. It has a social learning perspective, with a strong cognitive theory component, which is rooted in the development of the child and young adolescent. Written by one of the leading authorities on the specialization of clinical child psychology, this comprehensive introductory handbook updates the present literature in a single volume. It brings together the many and diverse theories and policies that form the theory and practice of clinical child psychology in both Europe and North America.
