Neuropsychology of Child Psychopathology

  • Chapter
Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

In our chapter in the earlier edition of the Hand-book (Tramontana & Hooper, 1989), we began with a series of questions. We asked: What is the relationship between brain dysfunction and psychopathology in childhood? Does it depend on the extent or type of brain dysfunction? What about the age or other attributes of the child at the time of onset? How might environmental factors potentiate the child’s risk? Are certain forms of psychopathology more likely to arise than others? Does the form of psychopathology change over time? There were other questions raised, namely: Is brain dysfunction more likely in certain psychiatric disorders or behavioral syndromes than others? Does its presence explain the form of psychopathology manifested? How important is it relative to other factors contributing to the child’s disturbance?
