Originally published in 1992, this title came out of a conference
on emotion and cognition as antecedents and consequences of health
and disease processes in children and adolescents. The theoretical
rationale for the conference was based on the assumption that the
development of emotion, cognition, health and illness are processes
that influence each other through the lifespan and that these
reciprocal interactions begin in infancy. The chapters discuss
developmental theories, research and implications for interventions
as they relate to promoting health, preventing disease, and
treating illness in children and adolescents.

Behavioral medicine emerged in the 1970s as the interdisciplinary
field concerned with the integration of behavioral, psychosocial,
and biomedical science knowledge relevant to the understanding of
health and illness, and the application of this knowledge to
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Recent years
have witnessed an enormous diversification of behavioral medicine,
with new sciences (such as genetics, life course epidemiology) and
new technologies (such as neuroimaging) coming into play. This book
brings together such new developments by providing an up-to-date
compendium of methods and applications drawn from the broad range
of behavioral medicine research and practice. The book is divided
into 10 sections that address key fields in behavioral medicine.
Each section begins with one or two methodological or conceptual
chapters, followed by contributions that address substantive topics
within that field. Major health problems such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer, HIV/AIDs, and obesity are explored from multiple
perspectives. The aim is to present behavioral medicine as an
integrative discipline, involving diverse methodologies and
paradigms that converge on health and well being.

This book is the outgrowth of a memorial conference to honour the
scientific contributions of Robert B. Cairns, an internationally
recognised interdisciplinary developmental scientist. It is
organised around research themes that were an integral part of Dr
Cairns' theories and research: neural and developmental plasticity;
brain-behaviour bidirectionality; gene-environment interactions.
Throughout this book, these themes are linked together by employing
animal models and clinical investigations through multiple levels
of analysis approach to understanding the origins, development,
desistance and prevention of aggression. These studies will add to
the compendium of basic knowledge on the developmental
psychobiology of aggression and will aid in the ultimate
translation of this knowledge to clinical and community settings.
This book hopes to foster the legacy of Robert B. Cairns to
facilitate the theoretical development and research of a new
generation of developmental scientists dedicated to relieving the
tragic consequences of aggression on the individual and society.
