Kristy, Alexis and I want to offer a special thank you to Ms. Robin Valkren, undergraduate within the online Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology program, for her proofreading of the 3rd edition during the fall 2022. Her edits and feedback and were incredibly helpful in making the quality of this textbook higher.

And now to our reader. We hope you enjoy the book and please, if you see any issues whether typographical, factual, or just want to suggest some type of addition to the material or another way to describe a concept, general formatting suggestion, etc. please let us know. The beauty of Open Education Resources (OER) is that we can literally make a minor change immediately and without the need for expensive printings of a new edition. And it’s available for everyone right away. If you have suggestions, please email them to either Alexis or myself (Lee Daffin) using the emails on the title page.

Enjoy the 3rd edition of Behavioral Disorder of Childhood.
