"This pair of companion volumes provide what is at once an elegant, rich and stimulating overview of the fedgling field becoming known as 'developmental neuropsychiatry'.

Grounded in neuroscience but enriched by clinical realities, the first volume provides the unified vision of the "new" psychiatry, which places the brain at the epicenter of psychopathology and recognizes the essential interplay between intrinsic vulnerabilities and life experience. The second volume translates this unifying neuroscientific perspective into the practicalclinical issues of the diagnosis and management of specific developmental disorders.This two-volume set will be an essential resource not only for physicians but all professionals involved in the treatment of developmental disorders."--From the Foreword by Joseph T.
