{"product_id":"developmental-psychopathology-concepts-methods-and-findings-9783031457869","title":"Developmental Psychopathology: Concepts, Methods, and Findings","description":"This book addresses the question of whether or not behavioural differences between children can be most appropriately characterised by dimensions of psychological problems or by categorical diagnoses. It describes the concepts and methods that have been developed and applied within developmental psychopathology using this dimensional approach. The book reviews evidence on the interplay between genes and the environment in influencing internalising problems, externalising problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and on the hierarchical factor structure underlying these behavioural dimensions. It provides an appraisal of the state of knowledge on the longer-term sequelae of these problems and on the efficacy of treatments that have been developed for them.Key areas of coverage include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultivariate data analytic methods for investigating behavioural differences (e.g., path analysis, cluster analysis, structural equation modelling, network analysis) and their associated theoretical frameworks (e.g., hierarchical factor models).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethods to investigate the biology of behavioural differences (e.g., quantitative and molecular genetics, epigenetics, and brain imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe design of research studies that can test most directly for causality (i.e., randomised controlled trials) and others that can estimate plausible causal relationships from associations and correlations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews of studies that have applied these methods to understand the developmental course of internalising and externalising behaviours and the neurodevelopmental problems of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDevelopmental Psychopathology\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and other professionals in developmental psychology, clinical child and school psychology, child and adolescentpsychiatry, paediatrics, clinical social work, public health, educational psychology, and all related disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031457869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJim Stevenson, Ph.D., \u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Southampton.

He was one of the editors of the 5th Edition of \u003cem\u003eRutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\u003c\/em\u003e, the definitive textbook in this field. For a decade, he served as Editor and then Senior Editor of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry\u003c\/em\u003e. He has undertaken a wide range of research studies on behaviour problems in young children, hyperactivity\/ADHD, language and reading development, child sexual abuse, food additives, the psychological development of children with a permanent childhood hearing loss and of children born prematurely. Several of these research studies used twins to identify the role of genetic and environmental influences on individual differences in development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43952563683443,"sku":"9.78303E+12","price":223.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_0318d6e2-a79d-4fd3-8916-65461a35f16d.jpg?v=1759495082","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/developmental-psychopathology-concepts-methods-and-findings-9783031457869","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
