Risks and outcomes in developmental psychopathology

"Risks and outcomes in developmental psychopathology summarizes research on various high risk groups of children (for example, children of schizophrenic or alcoholic parents); and reviews the epidemiological evidence for children at risk of psychiatric disorders in the community. The second half of the book discusses the clinical outcome of a wide range of psychiatric disorders originating in childhood (for example, anxiety, depressive disorders, conduct disorders, substance abuse, and eating disorders), and each chapter deals with the clinical features, the nature and effect of interventions, the course, and the outcome of the disorder."--Jacket.
