The Seventh Edition contains new material on theoretical perspectives useful for assessment, trauma and trauma-informed care, bullying and cyberbullying, child maltreatment, disruptive disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, substance-related disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, adaptive behavior, functional behavioral assessment, and executive functions. In addition, the Seventh Edition contains reviews of several standardized measures for assessing behavioral, social, and emotional functioning of children and for assessing parenting and family functioning. Dr. Martin Mrazik from the University of Alberta said, “There is not a more thorough and comprehensive assessment textbook in the fields of school and clinical psychology! Dr. Sattler continues to have a legacy of excellence with this latest work.” And Dr. Daniel Olympus from University of Utah said, “With the addition on trauma and child maltreatment, the Behavioral Seventh Edition becomes and remains a ‘must have’ for graduate students and professionals alike.”
