Clinical Child Psychology (History)
Early 20th century, Childhood was largely overlooked and treated as a downward extension of adult psychopathology which downplayed the nature of childhood. 1950’s-70’s Clinical Child Psychologists uncovered the limitations of relevance of adult-centered approaches to therapy. In the 1980’s DSM-III included developmental considerations in the diagnostic criteria for childhood disorders. From 1994-2013 DSM-IV contains infants, children, and adolescents, and DSM-5 includes clinical child psychology. By the 2000’s to present developmental psychopathology evolved to study childhood disorders . Currently developmental psychopathologists study the development of children and protective factors of prevention for at risk populations.
