Reviews

“Overall; I’m very impressed with your textbook; and I plan to continue using it. It is obvious that you both have been extremely careful in research in this field and covering issues. The textbook is well-written; and the boxed features and little case vignettes blend nicely with the thorough coverage of research and research issues.”

“The PDF ebook’s major points are richly studded with relevant citations of the research literature; to which the interested students (or professors!) can turn for more information. . . . The inclusion of illustrative case material greatly enriches the ebook; without disrupting the ‘flow’ of the presentation of information. Pedagogically; this is a great move; as is the inclusion of the occasional flashes of humor and wit; and of the occasional cartoon!. . . Overall; I believe this textbook to be consistently very readable; characterized by very current scholarship; and a notable advance over available competitors.”

“This is an outstanding etext; visually appealing; beautifully rendered; and intellectually first-rate. It is undoubtedly the best college textbook I have encountered on the subject; covering all the major disorders in a way that is informative to both experts and novices alike. Richly referenced and sprinkled throughout with interesting and instructive case anecdotes; this etextbook is scientifically state-of-the art. There simply is no better textbook for introducing undergraduate students to the subject of child psychopathology.”

“I find this book much more interesting and engaging than the textbook I currently use and far better in a number of ways from other ebooks on the market. I am pleased with the integration of empirical findings throughout this textbook. The use of cases in each chapter will help engage college students and facilitate communication of key concepts.”
