Development of Psychopathology: A Vulnerability-Stress Perspective

The book is broken into three parts that systematically integrate vulnerability-stress models of psychopathology with a developmental psychopathological approach, thus bridging the gap between what up to now have been largely two separate sub-disciplines. Brings together leading experts in the field of vulnerability, stress, specific vulnerabilities to psychological disorders, psychopathological disorders, and clinical interventions. In order to facilitate a consistent focus throughout the book, contributing authors were given explicit guidelines and outlines to follow for chapters in each of the various parts.
