Essentials of Child and Adolescent Psychopathology, Second Edition, provides
an overview of child and adolescent disorders that begins with a look at the
foundations of the discipline and the unique historical influences that played
a role in the evolution of the field. This updated version of the book includes
all of the changes in the criteria and conceptualization of disorders that can be
foundintheDiagnosticandStatisticalManualofMentalDisorders,FifthEdition
(DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). The book is divided
intosixparts.InPartI,readersareintroducedtochildandadolescentcharacteris-
