Reviews

The 2009 edition of Abnormal Child Psychology is well-organized and thorough. Dr. Wilmshurst’s proposal for revising the text focuses on updating the previously included content, while re-organizing some of the latter sections (expanding from 2 to 5 sections) to better fit with the new DSM-5. It is important, as Dr. Wilmshurst suggests, to maintain the five recurrent themes woven throughout the text, as well as use of the K-3 paradigm. This is a core text and I would adopt it if the proposed changes were incorporated in the revised text. Dr. Kerri Kim, Brown University. The current edition matches my course very well. I like the way the book is organized and am hopeful that the organization will be retained in the updated version. This is a core text for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate courses. Professor Jessica Hoffman, New England University. The two strongest features in my view are the 5 recurrent themes mentioned early in the text and the coverage of the coverage of the clinical diagnostic categories from a developmental perspective. I will probably adopt the second edition of this text. Ronald Kendrick EdD. Campbell University
