Description
Vulnerability has become the focal point of much theory and research in the study of psychopathology. Until now, however, work on child and adult disorders has largely been conducted separately, with little cross-pollination of knowledge on risk factors across the lifespan. This important work brings together leading clinical researchers to lay the foundations for an integrative lifespan perspective on biological, psychological, and social-contextual processes of vulnerability. Filling a crucial need, the volume demonstrates ways that the vulnerability construct can lead to genuine progress in understanding not only the genesis of psychological symptoms, but also their prevention and treatment.
Reviews / Votes
'In a time of increasing specificity, both for the diagnosis of psychopathology and its treatment, Ingram and Price invite us to step back and consider an alternative. Their emphasis on vulnerability as a dominant, cross-cutting conceptual framework demonstrates that there is still a role for general principles to inform our understanding of abnormal behavior. Readers will gain an appreciation for the broad trajectory of vulnerability processes that are laid down in childhood, and then expressed and treated in adulthood under the more common labels of depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Whether for graduate or undergraduate study, students will find this book authoritative and impressive. Furthermore, because of its integrative lifespan focus, it will set the standard for psychopathology texts for years to come.' - Zindel V. Segal, University of Toronto, Ontario, CanadaMore details
