This book provides a well-organized overview of the principles of diagnostic classification used by DSM-IV. Following DSM-IV’s format, chapters thematically group diagnoses by prominent presenting symptoms, and focus on the disorders commonly encountered in school-age children and adolescents. An excellent resource for school psychologists, social workers, and administrators, the volume also serves as a reference for child clinical psychologists and as a text for courses in child psychopathology, diagnostic assessment, and mental health classification.
