Description
Masud Hoghughi’s “Assessing Problem Children” quickly established itself as a guide for all those dealing with child and adolescent problems. This volume is a substantial update, covering the significant changes that have occurred in the field in the interim. Part One sets the framework, addressing a range of key issues about the nature and role of assessment in different contexts and presenting an evaluation of the various assessment approaches available. Part Two addresses the practice of assessment. The main and associated features of disorders within the PPA (Problem Profile Approach) categories are described with details of their onset and course, prevalence amongst young people, key predisposing factors, complications and impairment consequences.
