Topics from Child and Adolescent Psychology

The Topics from Child and Adolescent Psychology Series offers concise guides on key aspects of child and adolescent development. They are formed from selected chapters from Stephen von Tetzchner’s comprehensive textbook Child and Adolescent Psychology: Typical and Atypical Development and are intended to be accessible introductions for students of relevant modules on developmental psychology courses, as well as for professionals working in the fields of child development, developmental disabilities and special education. The topic books explain the key aspects of human development by integrating insights from typical and atypical development to cement understanding of the processes involved and the work with children who have developmental disorders. They examine sensory, physical and cognitive disabilities and the main emotional and behavioural disorders of childhood and adolescence, as well as the developmental consequences of these disabilities and disorders.
