Overview of the content
Approximately 10 to 15% of children and adolescents do not develop optimally, with problems that sometimes lead to disorders such as anxiety or behavioral disorders. Clinical developmental psychology focuses on these mental problems in children and examines the interaction between child and environment from a transactional perspective.
