Developmental Psychopathology, 2nd Edition, Three Volume Set edited by Dante Cicchetti, Donald J. Cohen (Wiley) (available individually: Volume 1: Developmental Psychopathology, Theory and Method; Volume 2: Developmental Psychopathology, Developmental Neuroscience; Volume 3: Developmental Psychopathology, Risk, Disorder, and Adaptation) contains in three volumes the most complete and current research on every aspect of developmental psychopathology. This seminal reference work features contributions from international expert researchers and clinicians who bring together an array of interdisciplinary work to ascertain how multiple levels of analysis may influence individual differences, the continuity or discontinuity of patterns and the pathways by which the same developmental outcomes may be achieved.

The first edition has proven to be a venerable reference work; the second edition has been extended by one whole volume.  Homage to the development of brain imaging technologies and interpretation which is currently revolutionizing how we think about the brain and mental illnesses.  The various articles detailed below are in depth surveys of developmental psychopathology in its various guises.  The authors keep a well-balanced view between theoretical research and possible clinical applications so that students, clinicians and researchers will all find these essays representing the best consensual view of the field at this time.  No doubt the price of these volumes will confine their use to the library more than to the classroom.  Highly recommended for university libraries and research institutions.

Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self by Allan N. Schore (Norton); Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self (TWO-VOLUME SET) by Allan N. Schore (Norton) The latest work from a pioneer in the study of the development of the self. In 1994 Allan Schore published his groundbreaking book, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self, in which he integrated a large number of experimental and clinical studies from both the psychological and the biological disciplines in order to construct an overarching model of social and emotional development. Since then he has expanded his regulation theory in more than two dozen articles and essays covering multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, attachment, and trauma. Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self contains writings on developmental affective neuroscience and developmental neuropsychiatry. Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self contains chapters on neuropsychoanalysis and developmentally oriented psychotherapy. Absolutely essential reading for all clinicians, researchers, and general readers interested in normal and abnormal human development. More  

Attachment Theory and Psychoanalysis by Peter Fonagy (Other Press) Offers an understanding of the relationship that has evolved between psychoanalytic and attachment theories. For developmental psychoanalysts.
Attachment Theory and Psychoanalysis undertakes to demonstrate that the relationship between attachment theory and psychoanalysis is more complex than adherents of either community generally recognize. Beginning with a brief overview of attachment theory and some key findings of attachment research, and continuing through psychoanalytic approaches from Freud to Daniel Stern, this book offers a unique contribution to our understanding of our the subject.
