Opis

This is an important book on the role of neurodevelopmental factors in the pathogenesis of the major psychiatric disorders. An international group of experts, including many of those responsible for the ideas that have come to dominate current thinking, reviews the fields of developmental neurobiology, clinical psychiatry, and behavioral neuroscience. The first section, "The Developing Brain," reviews neurodevelopment from the molecular to the behavioral level. Section Two, "Development and Psychopathology," covers clinical applications of the basic principles of developmental neurobiology. The third and final section, "Integrative Models," presents approaches toward a synthesis of neurodevelopmental and clinical findings in psychiatric disorder.

Recenzje

'Overall, this book is the most definitive of several recent volumes on the subject, and is comprehensive and at the same time accessible. Its readability is enhanced by occasional injections of provacativeness, and it is almost completely free of the rogue chapters that tend to find their way into multi-author volumes.' P. J. McKenna
