The Wiley Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology offers a concise, up-to-date, and international overview of the study of developmental psychopathology.
Examines the cognitive, neurobiological, genetic, and environmental influences on normal and abnormal development across the lifespanIncorporates methodology, theory, and the latest empirical research in a discussion of modern techniques for studying developmental psychopathologyConsiders the legal, societal, and policy impacts of changes to diagnostic categories in the light of the transition to DSM-5Moves beyond a disorder-based discussion to address issues that cut across diagnostic categories

Luna C. Centifanti is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Durham, UK and a Fellow of the Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing. Dr. Centifanti is a member of the executive board of the Society for the Scientific Study of Psychopathy, and has been recognized for her longitudinal research with the Neville Butler Memorial prize in 2010. Her current research focuses on the developmental and psychophysiological correlates of aggression, decision-making, and callous-unemotional traits in both forensic and community samples of adolescents and young adults.

David M. Williams is a Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Kent, UK. His current research focuses on the neuro-cognitive underpinnings of, and relations among, developmental disorders.
