Correcting the notion that French influence in the Americas was
confined mostly to Quebec and New Orleans, this collection reveals
a wide range of vibrant French-speaking communities in the Americas
both during and long after the end of French colonial rule.
Analyzing artifacts including clay pipes, colonoware, and food
remains alongside a rich body of historical records, contributors
focus on how French descendants impacted North America, the
Caribbean, and South America even after 1763. They argue that
communities do not need to be located in French colonies or contain
French artifacts to be considered Francophone, and they show that
many Francophone groups were composed of a complex mix of ethnic
French, Metis, Native Americans, and African Americans. This volume
emphasizes that French colonists and their descendants have played
an important role in New World histories.
Experts discuss the potential of early intervention to transform
outcomes for people with mental disorders. Mental illness
represents one of the largest disease burdens worldwide, yet
treatments have been largely ineffective in improving the quality
of life for millions of affected individuals-in part because
approaches taken have focused on late-stage disorders in adulthood.
This volume shifts the focus by placing the developmental stage of
"youth" at the center of mental health. The contributors challenge
current nosology, explore mechanisms that underlie the emergence of
mental disorders, and propose a framework to guide early
intervention. Offering recommendations for the future, the book
holds that early intervention in youth has the potential to
transform outcomes for people with mental disorders and to
reconfigure the landscape of mental health. The contributors
discuss epidemiology, classification, and diagnostic issues,
including the benefits of clinical staging; the context for
emerging mental disorders, including both biological and
sociocultural processes; biological mechanisms underlying risk for
psychopathology, including aspects of neural circuitry; and
developing and implementing prevention and early intervention,
including assessment and intervention modalities and knowledge
translation in early treatment of schizophrenia. Contributors
