Summary

Many children, in the course of growing up, experience problems that may be transient, but which nevertheless are severe enough or persistent enough to interfere with their day-to-day functioning. These difficult periods are usually attributable to the stresses of development, adaptation to family and societal expectations, or chance events.
Focusing on these types of problems, which are regularly encountered in clinical practice and are the focus of prevention and early intervention programs, ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS offers clearcut guidelines for developmentally sound interventions.
