Toward a New Diagnostic System for Child Psychopathology by Peter S. Jensen & Penny Knapp & David A. Mrazek

Brings together child psychiatry researchers to review the diagnostic system and work toward clinically useful ways of understanding childhood problems. This volume examines how diagnostic categories as embodied in the DSM-IV fail to take into account the interplay among maladaptive behavior and children's environmental contexts and relationships. This important volume brings together leading child psychiatry researchers to critically review the current diagnostic system and work toward new, more clinically useful ways of understanding childhood problems. The authors examine how existing diagnostic categories as embodied in the DSM-IV fail to adequately take into account the interplay among maladaptive behavior and children's environmental contexts, relationships, and developmental needs. Drawing on the latest findings from neurobiological and evolutionary research, the book offers fresh perspectives on the nature, causes, assessment, and treatment of a range of prevalent disorders. The concluding chapter offers specific, cogent suggestions for improving the forthcoming DSM-V.
