Rich in diversity and scope, the 26th annual edition of Annual Progress continues to provide the most up-to-date research and scholarship available in the field of child psychiatry and child development.

Under the judicious editorship of Drs. Hertzig and Farber, this volume is comprised of 24 articles that illuminate groundbreaking work to present a clear, thoughtful, and systematic picture of child psychiatry and development. The articles cover Devel­opmental Studies, Methodological Issues, Children of Psychiatrically Ill Parents, Disruptive Behavior Disorders, Other Clinical Issues, Treatment and Prevention, and Psychosocial Issues.

The 1993 edition of Annual Progress remains a benchmark against which al I other contributions to the literature will be measured. Mental health profession­als who work with children and adolescents will find the book essential for both its timely information and long-term reference value. Researchers will find substantial information in its pages for new spheres of inquiry.
