Of particular value is the richly informative chapter on family factors in the development of problem behavior. An important contribution for clinical psychologists, the book will also be useful to professionals in social work, early childhood education, and related fields."--Robert C.

"Much has happened in this past decade to advance our understanding of child behavior problems and how they may be prevented or treated. Susan Campbell is on top of these advances, in part because she has spearheaded many of them. She has performed a wonderful service to all of us interested in the well-being of children by updating this book. This is an essential resource for anyone working with children--from child clinicians to preschool and elementary school teachers--as well as serious students of human development. Campbell provides accurate and balanced coverage of what is known about early development; helps us understand why young children have behavior problems; and shares illustrative findings from her own longitudinal studies. Impressively, the volume provides a review that will be highly informative to psychology researchers and graduate students while remaining accessible to undergraduates and readers in other fields."--John Coie, PhD, Department of Psychology: Social and Health Sciences (Emeritus), Duke University
