At A Glance

This book examines psychosocial risk factors contributing to the development and maintenance of psychopathology in early childhood. It draws on developmental psychopathology theory and research to discuss different approaches to the classification of early childhood emotional and behavioral disorders, address the importance of multidomain approaches to understanding risk factors for specific diagnoses, and examine the movement toward transdiagnostic conceptualizations. The book describes how multidomain models of risk factors can be integrated with transdiagnostic approaches to illuminate the development of general psychopathology, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and singular symptom clusters of the most common early childhood disorders, including oppositional disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. In addition, the volume highlights the implications of this approach for clinical treatment, training of child clinicians, and the development of public policy. psychopathology approach to early childhood mental health disorders and the development of multi-domain models of risk factors. factors contributing to the development and maintenance of emotional and behavioral symptoms in early childhood. approaches and risk factors for general psychopathology as well as specific types of symptoms. early childhood and a novel integrative approach to treatment based on research findings. policy implications derived from the research program detailed in the book. for researchers, clinicians, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such fields as developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, family studies, early childhood education, and all related disciplines.

Features
|
| It is important to understand the factors underlying mental illness in young children since the numbers of cases are rising. One of the first things clinicians should do is to discover what symptoms clients are reporting, along with intensity and frequency. It is also important to assess the context of when and where the symptoms occur as well as the functioning level of the parents or guardians. Each child has a specific temperament that will affect the intensity of symptoms. Research studies normally utilize a longitudinal framework. It is easier to identify externalizing disorders since these behaviors are obvious for anyone who spends time with the child. However, internalizing disorders can be missed because they may not cause immediate disruption in the family. Various treatments have been developed for childhood disorders such as parent-focused Parent Management Training, The Incredible Years program, the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, to name a few. Research has revealed that temperament risk factors are correlated with symptom types. The book ends with training recommendations for clinicians, including the need for a comprehensive understanding of typical development and developmental psychopathology. The book is highly readable and contains numerous tables and figures, which help clarify the text. |
