A major benchmark in the understanding of psychiatric illness in children and adolescents, "Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness" reports on progress in identifying genetic and environmental influences on emotional-behavioral disorders. A team of 22 international authorities - including many trailblazers in the field - presents work that changes the way child psychiatry and clinical psychology are conceptualized. These authors' presentations debunk misconceptions about depression, antisocial behavior, and other conditions to enhance our understanding of the causes of child psychopathology - and improve the ways we treat these disorders.The coverage ranges from basic principles regarding the influence of genomic medicine, to gene-environment interaction, to disorder-based examples that show how emotional-behavioral illness and wellness attest to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors over time. The contributors provide new insight into the study of anxiety/depression, ADHD, autism, and antisocial personality disorders; share studies of such problems as child abuse and childhood worry; and reveal how practitioners can bridge the gap between research and clinical applications. "Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness" shows that these psychopathologies are not a matter of nature versus nurture or genes versus environment, but rather an intertwining web of them all.
