Opis

Presents a clinical framework for understanding the impact of toxic stress and both adverse and affiliative childhood experiences on development. This book makes a compelling case that many diseases of adulthood are not adult-onset, but rather adult-manifest, based on genetic and epigenetic consequences from early childhood experiences.
