Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology with DSM-V Updates by Wicks-Nelson (Reference 1)

You are a volunteer at a counseling center, and your mentor has asked you to assist in leading a session of a psycho-educational group on a disorder of your choice.

Address the following:

Identify a disorder that is usually diagnosed first in childhood/adolescence, and provide a thorough explanation of the characteristics of the disorder.

Research the disorder using your textbook, Web resources, and other professional literature to explain (in detail) complexities in identifying the disorder.

You will need to write a realistic case (you should create the details) to use as an example in explaining all aspects of the disorder.
