Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 3e AB - The concept of development is the backbone of modern behavioral science. Psychiatric practitioners and behavioral scientists are concerned primarily with change, its origins, and its control. Developmental psychology is the scientific study of the structure, function, and processes of systematic growth and change across the life span. Systems of classification of behavior (including psychiatric nosology) take into account not only contemporaneous features and formal similarities among current symptoms and syndromes but also past qualities, immediate consequences, long-term outcome, and likelihood of change (naturally or through treatment).
