Synopsis

Bringing together foremost experts, this book reviews groundbreaking gene–environment research and explores implications for clinical practice, prevention, and public policy. Presented is cutting-edge work on the interplay of genetic factors and childhood experiences in the development of mental disorders such as depression, conduct disorder, and schizophrenia. Essential topics include what scientists currently know about ""susceptibility genes""; the mechanisms by which maltreatment and other stressors interact with biological susceptibilities across development; and factors that make certain children more resilient than others. Future directions for personalizing treatment and prevention efforts, thus making them more effective, are discussed.

Kenneth A. Dodge, PhD, is William McDougall Professor of Public Policy, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Director of the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University. His research focuses on how genes and environments interact to produce chronic antisocial behavior. He has used his research findings to create, implement, and evaluate preventive interventions for children and parents, and is currently interested in designing policies for communities to prevent violence. Dr. Dodge is a recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association and the Senior Scientist Award from the National Institutes of Health. Michael Rutter, MD, FRS, is Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Kings College, London, United Kingdom. He has long been interested in gene–environment interdependence, has undertaken numerous studies of environmental influences on psychopathology, and has been involved in both behavioral genetic and molecular genetic studies of mental disorders. Throughout his research and clinical career, he has focused on research–clinical interplay and the policy implications of research findings. Dr. Rutter was knighted in 1992 and is an honorary member of the British Academy, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and founding Fellow of the Academia Europaea and the Academy of Medical Sciences.
