Author Description

"Development of Psychopathology: A Vulnerability-Stress Perspective brings together the foremost experts conducting groundbreaking research on the major factors shaping psychopathological disorders across the lifespan in order to review and integrate the theoretical and empirical literature in this field. The editors build upon two important and established research and clinical traditions: (1) developmental psychopathology frameworks and (2) vulnerability-stress models of psychological disorders. In the past two decades, each of these separate approaches has blossomed. However, despite the scientific progress each has achieved individually, no forum previously brought these traditions together in the unified way accomplished in this book." "Development of Psychopathology will be a resource for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in clinical psychology, as well as for researchers, doctoral students, clinicians, and instructors in the areas of developmental psychopathology, clinical psychology, experimental psychopathology, psychiatry, counseling psychology, and school psychology."--Jacket.
