Developmental Psychopathology (Mcgraw-Hill International Editions: Psychology Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was used as a text book for one of my psychology classes. Most sell their books back at the end of the time but I would suggest not selling this book. I found so much useful information in it and it was not boring to read. Each aspects are covered with a child and what had happened to cause the maladaptive behavior or disorder to develop. Its a good keep for anyone who is going into the field of psychology especially with children.

Accessible and clearly written, "Developmental Psychopathology, 4/e", is designed to be challenging to students rather than being "dumbed down" for them. Presenting a balance of perspectives, including the behavioral, psychodynamic, cognitive, and family systems, the authors provide a rich, thought-provoking, and integrative view of developmental psychopathology. In this new edition, a consistent organizational scheme is used in each chapter, and the research is up-to-date, including particular attention to important new emerging themes such as attachment, neurobiological models, and peer relations.

Public and Private Families: A Reader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was used as a textbook for a sociology of family class.
One interesting observation is that there is an odd absence of studies and articles concerning men. I am not sure if this is because of the body of research out there or because this particular author chose to disregard those studies. Overall, nice balance of pro- and anti-traditional family input.

This reader examines the family through two lenses--the familiar private family, in which we live our personal lives, and the public family, in which we deal with broader societal issues, such as raising the next generation, and the care of the elderly. Consequently, these readings look both at intimate, personal concerns, such as whether to marry, as well as societal concerns, such as governmental policies that affect families. The reader corresponds exactly to and is published concurrent with Cherlin's textbook Public and Private Families: An Introduction; both the textbook and the reader have 14 chapters of the same names.
