This volume is the result of a symposium titled "Constructivist
Approaches to Atypical Development and Developmental
Psychopathology." What emerges from the work included here is a
record of innovative extensions, refinements, and applications of
the concept of constructivism. The chapters not only demonstrate
the compatibility of constructivism with investigations of
atypicality, but also the generation of a constructivist
perspective for a wide array of problems in developmental
psychology.

For developmental scientists, the nature versus nurture debate has
been settled for some time. Neither nature nor nurture alone
provides the answer. It is nature and nurture in concert that shape
developmental pathways and outcomes, from health to behavior to
competence. This insight has moved far beyond the assertion that
both nature and nurture matter, progressing into the fascinating
terrain of how they interact over the course of development. In
this volume, students, practitioners, policy analysts, and others
with a serious interest in human development will learn what is
transpiring in this new paradigm from the developmental scientists
working at the cutting edge, from neural mechanisms to population
studies, and from basic laboratory science to clinical and
community interventions. Early childhood development is the
critical focus of this volume, because many of the important
nature-nurture interactions occur then, with significant influences
on lifelong developmental trajectories.
