While the developmental relevance of young children's behavior problems is now generally recognized, there has been a marked paucity of information on the topic. Filling a gap in the literature, this volume focuses exclusively on children from toddlerhood through the preschool period. Integrating theory with clinical and developmental research with theoretical issues, and presenting a wealth of illustrative case material, it provides a clinically rich and highly readable account of this significant stage in the behavioral development of children.

CHOICE Review

Campbell, a noted child psychologist, has written an engaging book on the identification and treatment of behavior problems in preschoolers. Early chapters discuss theoretical models of social development (e.g., transactional, social-ecological) and developmental issues (e.g., pretend play, self-regulation) in the cognitive and social development of preschoolers. A chapter is devoted to the identification of problem behaviors and their distinction from age-appropriate behaviors. Case vignettes from four preschoolers with behavior problems are included to supplement this discussion. There are separate chapters on the impact of family, siblings, and peers on preschoolers during normal and atypical social development. The latter chapters describe effective treatment models and provide suggestions for social policy that could help families cope with children diagnosed as having problem behaviors. This book will provide appealing reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and others who work with young children. A comprehensive, well-documented volume appropriate for libraries serving graduate students and professionals. -M. L. Clark, Wake Forest University
