The majority of the attention and funding, not surprisingly, has focused on the more prevalent and well-known conditions. Although this raises the odds that young people with more well-known disorders such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders will receive much-needed professional assessment and intervention, children with less frequently encountered disorders may experience a higher risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUseful data has been scattered throughout the literature for severe-but-less-frequent childhood psychological disorders, including: fire setting; gender identity disorder; impulse control disorders (i.e., kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder); selective mutism; Munchausen by proxy; childhood schizophrenia; gang involvement; sexual offending; self-injurious behavior; and feral children. This concise volume offers up-to-date information on these conditions, which, though relatively rare, may have profound effect not only on the children themselves but also their families, friends, and the community at large. Coverag\u003c\/p\u003ee of each disorder is presented in an accessible format covering: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverview and history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription and diagnostic classification, with proposed changes to the DSM-V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtiology and theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment tools and interview protocols.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly used psychological and pharmacological treatment options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent research issues and directions for future investigation. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessing and Treating Low Incidence\/High Severity Psychological Disorders of Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a must-have reference for researchers, clinicians, practitioners, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work, school counseling, education, and public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan C.
