This state-of-the-art work has been highly praised for bridging the
divide between adult and developmental psychopathology. The volume
illuminates the interplay of biological, cognitive, affective, and
social-environmental factors that place individuals at risk for
psychological disturbance throughout development. Childhood-onset and
adult forms of major disorders are examined in paired chapters by
prominent clinical researchers. An integrative third chapter on each
disorder then summarizes what is known about continuity and change in
vulnerability across the lifespan. Implications for assessment,
treatment, and prevention are also considered.
