135 Normal and Abnormal Behaviors: Developmental Considerations

Evaluation of child psychopathology from a developmental perspective requires the integration of information about child characteristics (biological and genetic) and environmental characteristics (family, peers, school, neighborhood).

This understanding is crucial to an awareness of how developmental issues impact psychopathology and treatment.
