Description
Shedding light on the important interplay among attention, development, and psychopathology, this volume is the first to bring together the research in these disciplines. Chapters cover the entire lifespan and examine a wide range of different pathologies, integrating what is known about the normal development of attention and the effects of impaired attention in various atypical groups. This book will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and students of clinical psychology, developmental psychopathology, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and other mental health fields.
