Towards a New Diagnostic System for Child Psychopathology
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 do not adequately account for the interplay between maladaptive behavior on the one hand, and

children's environmental contexts, relationships, and developmental needs on the other. 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. Available for list price from most major booksellers.

Training In Evidence-Based Practices
Tools for Training Others in Awareness and Recognition
- Despite well-documented levels of emotional and behavioral problems in the nation’s youth, studies have repeatedly shown that most youth with mental health problems are not identified and do not receive needed care. The main goal of this federally supported project is to develop key warning signs of children's mental health problems. These signs were developed through scientific data analysis and through feedback from nationwide focus groups with parents, teachers, providers, and adolescents.
