Yet our knowledge regarding the development of antisocial behavior remains focused almost exclusively on boys and men. Fortunately, solid research into problem behavior in girls – a field that was virtually non-existent before the 1970s – is finally gaining ground.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Girls' Problem Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e presents a collection of recent studies that are shaping our understanding of the development of problem behavior in girls. Most chapters feature longitudinal data and a focus on theory development. They include studies that begin with the maturing girl, follow her through adolescence to adulthood, and conclude when she herself becomes a parent. The processes involved in initiating, establishing, and potentially overcoming problem behavior are vividly illustrated through new findings and theories from fields including clinical psychology, sociology, developmental psychology and criminology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering rich insights from leading international scholars, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Girls’ Problem Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to inspire further advances in a critical new field of contemporary research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990429909221,"sku":"NP9780470666326","price":123.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470666326.jpg?v=1761787794","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/understanding-girls-problem-behavior-isbn-9780470666326","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
