Publisher's Synopsis
The integration of behavioural and neurological research on childhood pathology is just one topic explored by this introduction to research on functional neurological organization and models of childhood psychopathology.
Psychopathology is broadly defined, and the volume provides overviews of the exciting research being conducted on many psychiatric disorders including depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Tourette′s Syndrome, and selected developmental disorders such as mental retardation, autism, developmental language disorder and learning disabilities. This valuable resource provokes a reconsideration of our understanding of etiology and differential treatment.
