Preface
Thisvolume ofAdvancesinClinicalChild Psychologyisthe third underour
editorship and the seventeenth of the series. It continues the tradition of
examining a broad range of topics and issues related to the study and
treatment ofchild and adolescent behavior problems. Overthe years, the
series has served toidentifyimportantand exciting new developments in
the field and provide scholarly review of current thought and practices.
Intheopeningchapter,Cichetti,Toth,andLynchexamineattachment
theory and its implications for psychopathology. They provide exacting
commentary on the status ofthe constructofattachment and its potential
rolein the developmentofdiverse psychopathologies. Similarly, Richards
explores the impact of infant cognitive psychophysiology and its role in
normal and abnormal development in the second chapter. Both of these
chapters address issues of risk for subsequent psychopathology and are
deeply embedded in developmental theory.
In Chapter 3/ Nottelmann and Jensen tackle the important issue of
comorbidity in psychiatric diagnosis from a developmental perspective.
Asthey aptly note, comorbidityis more the rule than the exception. They
explore important developmental processes which may account for this
state of affairs. Rubin, Stewart, and Coplan address social withdrawal in
children from conceptual and empirical perspectives. They also explore
developmental issues, giving the chapter a context in which to interpret
current findings and project future developments. The next two chapters
areacritiqueoffacilitated communicationbyHudsonand an examination
of the psychological sequelae of child sexual abuse by Veitch-Wolfe and
Birt. They review extremely important, timely, and controversial topics.
Wehope thatthey willserve asbenchmarktreatiseson these topics forthe
years ahead.
Waldman, Lilienfeld, and Lahey highlight issues related to the con
struct validity of the disruptive behavior disorders in DSM-IV.Swanson,
McBurnett, Christian, and Wigal review the use ofstimulant medications
in the treatment ofchildren with ADHD.Finally, Russ examines state of
the science (or art) for play psychotherapy. These chapters address im
portant clinical issues and should be of direct and immediate interest to
practicing clinicians.
Throughout this volume we have tried to highlightexciting develop
ments andfuture directionsfor the discipline ofclinicalchild psychology.
The field is extremely varied and defies narrow boundaries.
