Recent advances in our understanding of the human brain suggest
that adolescence is a unique period of development during which
both environmental and genetic influences can leave a lasting
impression. To advance the goal of integrating brain and prevention
science, two areas of research which do not usually communicate
with one another, the Annenberg Public Policy Center's Adolescent
Risk Communication Institute held a conference with the purpose of
producing an integrated volume on this interdisciplinary area.
Presenters/chapter contributors were asked to address two
questions: What neurodevelopmental processes in children and
adolescents could be altered so that mental disorders might be
prevented? And what interventions or life experiences might be able
to introduce such changes? The book has a 5-part structure:
biological and social universals in development; characteristics of
brain and behaviour in development; effects of early maltreatment
and stress on brain development; effects of stress and other
environmental influences during adolescence on brain development;
and reversible orders of brain development. The twenty chapters
include contributions from some of the most well-known researchers
in the area.
