As editor of the Springer-Verlag Series in Psychopathology, Lauren
Alloy knew of my work in cognitive psychophysiology to study
processing anomalies in nonpatients at risk for psychopathology and
invited me to edit a book for the series. This evolved into an
opportunity to address an aspect of the unfortunate nature-nurture
battle in the field, which too often emphasizes genes and
macrolevel environment. Extreme positions are often taken
(sometimes unwittingly), even though a great deal of the actual
research is between the extremes, including laboratory psycho
logical and psychophysiological studies. There is more to biology
than genes and even more to it than things like brain imaging,
enlarged ventricles, glucose metabolism rate, and receptor density,
which have received a great deal of attention in recent years. of
studies at the One goal of this book is to provide demonstrations
intersection between psychology and biology via psychophysiology.
In parallel, another goal is to showcase solid psychological
research that may bear directly on what are often considered
biological issues. For example, Chapter 4, by Walker and
colleagues, can be considered classically psychological, because
the authors focus on overt behavior. Yet some of the importance of
their work is its implication of a particular biological process
involved in the gross motor behavior anomalies they have identified
in the etiology of schizophrenia. Similarly, whereas in Chapter 7,
Klein and Anderson articulate the behavioral high-risk paradigm
quite well, in Chapter 10, Yee relies on their approach in pursuing
psycho physiological research on risk for depression."
