This review is from: Assessment of Childhood Disorders, Third Edition (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent example of specialists in psychological disorders being willing to speak only on their own specialty, and handoff other disorders to those who are considered premiere in that field. THis is a conglomerate effort from such specialists to give a comprehensive, up-to-date study of the childhood disorders that plague many of the youth of our time. A must have for the child practitioner or school psychologists and psychometrists.
