Neuropsychological Assessment and Intervention for Youth ─ An Evidence-Based Approach to Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

Researchers in pediatrics and psychology bridge the gap between neuropsychological evaluation and intervention for children with emotional and behavior disorders. The models they present adopt an integrated assessment-treatment paradigm that recognizes the complex interplay of genetics, neurodevelopment, and neuropsychological functioning. They consider in turn youth with internalizing disorders, externalizing disorders, and related disorders with emotional and behavioral dysfunction. The approaches could interest graduate students, researchers, and clinicians. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
