Alcohol Use Disorders takes a life-span/developmental approach to
understanding the etiologic processes that heighten risk or
resilience factors for alcohol use disorders (AUD). Contemporary
understanding benefits from thirty years of longitudinal studies
that were specifically designed to assess pre-onset origins,
predictors of onset, and outcomes through early adulthood. The
overriding theme of the volume is that the origins and expression
of AUD are best understood within the context of developmental
processes and dynamic systems organization and change. Such dynamic
systems give rise to diverse pathways that are characterized by
multi-finality and equi-finality due to the exchanges among genes,
epigenetic processes, and the complexities of the individual
organism's experiential world. For some individuals, these dynamic
processes lead to risk cumulative or cascade effects that embody
adverse childhood experiences that exacerbate risk, predict early
onset drinking (or smoking), and are highly likely to lead to AUD
during the transitions to adolescence and emerging adulthood. In
other cases, protective factors within or outside of the
individual's immediate family enable embodiment of normative stress
regulatory systems and neural networks that support resilience and
prevention of AUD and other addictive behaviors.
