Disorders of Childhood and Adolescence

Abstract

Current knowledge of child and adolescent disorders is compromised by a lack of child‐specific theories. Despite the increasing attention to disorders of childhood and adolescence, there remain fewer categories for diagnosing mental disorders in children than in adults. Despite these caveats, tremendous advances have been made in the last decade with respect to childhood psychopathology. New conceptual frameworks, new knowledge, and new research methods have greatly enhanced our understanding of childhood disorders. This chapter demonstrates these advances with respect to the broad domains of externalizing disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders) and internalizing disorders (mood and anxiety disorders). Considered within this chapter are the phenomenology, epidemiology, developmental course, associated features, and proposed causes. Integrative developmental pathway models for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and anxiety disorders of childhood are provided. The chapter concludes with a discussion of current issues and future directions for the field.
