Synthesizes the current understanding of the group of disorders currently labeled DSM-IV, and which comprise at least three quarters of all the psychopathological disorders of childhood and adolescence: the three types of attention-deficit/hyperactivity, the two types of conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Reviews classification, epidemiology, and assessment; deals with each of the specific types; and discusses special problems and issues, including mentally retarded patients, ethical and legal issues in research, gender and ethnicity, and research problems. Researchers, clinicians, teachers, and students in all the mental health fields may find useful information. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
