Designed in accordance with DSM-IV, this handbook clarifies and expands upon the definitions used in the classification and diagnosis of childhood disorders. Finely tuned to the revisions encompassed by DSM-IV criteria, this book offers sound, detailed guidance to the range of interpretation and application. While it addresses psychopathology specific to infancy, childhood, and adolescence as well as other psychiatric disorders, the DSM-IV Training Guide for Diagnosis of Childhood Disorders also illuminates differences between adults and children that may emerge during diagnosis.
