Notes from a Child Psychologist
Abstract
Notes from a Child Psychologist features ten composite case studies based on the author's work over three decades as a psychologist for children and adolescents. Dr. Propp takes readers through a patient's treatment intervention in session-by-session sequence to experience what it's like to sit-in on child, adolescent, and family therapy sessions. Readers can see the progression of how a child struggles with a problem and then returns to treatment as an adolescent, dealing with the same issue in a different way. Each chapter focuses on a different case examined within the context of family patterns of behavior, featuring concerns including attention deficit disorder, autism, gender identity, violence, anger, substance abuse, childhood trauma, parental divorce, adoption, parenting, and poverty. Engaging and jargon-free, this resource is beneficial for practicing child psychologists, as well as upper undergraduate and graduate students as a supplementary text.
