"For almost 30 years, Assessment of Childhood Disorders has served as a guide to the tools used in clinical assessments as well as the issues....Perfect for graduate students and practicing clinicians, as well as behavioral science researchers interested in getting up to date on conditions that may relate to their own work....Much has changed since the last time the text was published (in 1997), and so those who benefited from the earlier edition would do well to update their libraries with this one."

"Synthesizing a wealth of theoretical, empirical, and practical information, this fourth edition is a tour de force. Despite the title's emphasis on assessment, the volume moves beyond diagnosis per se to address the many biological and contextual influences on children's functioning. Its recommendations are informed by current perspectives on converging etiological factors, developmental and situational variations in the manifestations of problems, and the importance of considering both dimensional and categorical models of problem behavior. All serious scholars of child and adolescent psychopathology will want to have this classic work in their library."
-Susan B. Campbell, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh
"Emphasizing a developmental systems approach, and written by experts in the field, this fourth edition is a 'must read'....Within its pages, professionals will find a wealth of practical information to guide their work with children, adolescents, and families suffering from early-onset behavioral health disorders. I highly recommend this book."
-Daniel F. Connor, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Connecticut Medical School
"In the truly remarkable introductory chapter, the book describes a uniquely comprehensive and well-thought-through model for integrating evidence-based assessment with knowledge on the multiple contexts and domains of child and family functioning. Subsequent chapters, organized by this overarching model, present diverse measures across common developmental themes. This would be an excellent core text for graduate-level courses in psychopathology or clinical assessment. The book will also guide researchers and clinicians in comprehensive case formulation and evaluation of clinical and adaptive functioning."
-Alan E. Kazdin, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University
"For each disorder, a concise literature review is followed by practical advice on screening and evaluation. The chapters on bipolar disorder and suicidal ideation are particularly timely. Clinicians will find the book an excellent source for information regarding rating scales and other useful psychometric measures, while researchers will appreciate the scholarly review of these instruments. This book will be a major aid in planning research projects and a valuable tool for training mental health professionals of every discipline."
