Developmental Psychopathology

by Charles Wenar, Patricia K. Kerig

Accessible and clearly written, "developmental psychopathology, 4/e", is designed to be challenging to students rather than being "dumbed down" for them. Presenting a balance of perspectives, including the behavioral, psychodynamic, cognitive, and family systems, the authors provide a rich, thought-provoking, and integrative view of developmental psychopathology. In this new edition, a consistent organizational scheme is used in each chapter, and the research is up-to-date, including particular attention to important new emerging themes such as attachment, neurobiological models, and peer relations.

Blev klar med denna idag (ca 75% av boken som kursen innefattande). En av de bättre under programmets gång. Positivt överraskad då utv.psy. I var olidligt tråkig.

Har som mål för 2023 att läsa 23 böcker (inkl. kurslitteratur, så fusk — ja. Blir typ då kanske 15 böcker utöver det?). Ska göra detta främst genom att läsa pamflettböcker och ge mig på en o annan tegelsten (sitter fast i Sapolskys Behave och har påbörjat ett evighetsprojekt med Det andra könet). Blir det rysk litteratur? Hoppas! (Obs är ej pro-Putin)

Haj!

In essence, the author argues that an adult's development or personality problem shouldn't be defined by a specific "error" that should be "patched". But rather, the problem is a boarder manifestation of under development of a specific childhood period.

this book is little bit different from Haugaard. It's talk about psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. so there are any kind of psychopathology that sometimes occur on children through adolescence. one of the great one. easy to read..
