Consistent with previous editions, several themes run throughout the book: &nbsp; <ul> <li>Developmental psychopathology: Children's and adolescents' behaviors are on a continuum (from very adaptive to very maladaptive), with only the very severe ends of the spectrum being conceptualized as disorders.</li> <li>Diversity, inclusion, and understanding: Special attention is given to issues of race/ethnicity, gender, family constellation, religious orientation, primary language, socioeconomic status, and physical differences to help students see the commonalities and differences of abnormal child behavior within a cross-cultural and international context.</li> </ul> New to the 4th edition <ul> <li>Completely revised in both structure and content to reflect the DSM-5</li> <li>Increase coverage of risk factors related to long-term effects of sexual abuse and bullying.</li> <li>Increased coverage of diversity to include new "diversities" that have emerged as important, i.e. transgender children</li> <li>New research on suicide and suicide prevention</li> </ul>
