Adolescent Psychopathology and the Developing Brain - Integrating Brain and Prevention Science

Klappentext The Annenberg Public Policy Center's Adolescent Risk Communication Institute held a conference with the purpose of producing an integrated volume of this interdisciplinary area. Presenters/chapter contributors were asked to address two questions: What neurodevelopmental processes in children and adolescents could be altered so that mental disorders might be prevented? And what interventions or life experiences might be able to introduce such changes? The book has a5-part structure: biological and social universals in development ; characteristics of brain and behaviour in development; effects of early maltreatment and stress on brain development; effects of stress and other environmental influences during adolescence on brain development; and reversible ordersof brain development. The twenty chapters include contributions from some of the most well-known researchers in the area. Zusammenfassung Divided into 5 parts, this book talks about: biological and social universals in development; characteristics of brain and behaviour in development; and effects of early maltreatment and stress on brain development. It also deals with the effects of stress and other environmental influences during adolescence on brain development.
