Child and Adolescent Psychopathology provides a unique opportunity to expose students to a cutting-edge approach to childhood and adolescent disorders by addressing and integrating the most current research on the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors that contribute to them. The text also emphasizes how, when, and why disorders emerge among young people and in what ways symptom profiles change at different stages of development.

The best developmental psychopathology textbook I've encountered so far (I read the second edition that's written post-DSM 5)

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

I used this textbook for my graduate-level child psychopathology class and I really liked it (and the students didn't complain about it, which is a 'win' in my book). It had a nice introduction to developmental psychopathology, did a good job going over the risk factors for psychopathology, and had clear, concise chapters for each of the major childhood disorders. I'll use it again next time I teach this class. The only drawback for me was that it came out in early 2013 so the various authors were only able to speculate about DSM-5 changes/additions/updates.
