Index.

I love the Essentials series. This volume in particular gives a quick and easy explaination of child pyschopathology. It is exactly what it is decribed as " a practical guide, covering theory, assessment, and treatment". It's a great resource for the busy professional and light weight (instead of carrying your DSM-IV-TR). My book has so many tabs and highlights in it, it's definitely a useful resource for report writing.

I had to buy this book for an upper level psychology class and it was the easiest textbook we had ever used. It's clear in topics, the margin notes help with your reading, and a breeze to get through.
