This innovative collection extends the emerging field of stress
biology to examine the effects of a substantial source of
early-life stress: child abuse and neglect. Research findings
across endocrinology, immunology, neuroscience, and genomics supply
new insights into the psychological variables associated with
adversity in children and its outcomes. These compelling
interdisciplinary data add to a promising model of biological
mechanisms involved in individual resilience amid chronic
maltreatment and other trauma. At the same time, these results also
open out distinctive new possibilities for serving vulnerable
children and youth, focusing on preventing, intervening in, and
potentially even reversing the effects of chronic early trauma.
Included in the coverage: Biological embedding of child
maltreatment Toward an adaptation-based approach to resilience
Developmental traumatology: brain development and maltreated
children with and without PTSD Childhood maltreatment and pediatric
PTSD: abnormalities in threat neural circuitry An integrative
temporal framework for psychological resilience The Biology of
Early Life Stress is important reading for child maltreatment
researchers; clinical psychologists; educators in counseling,
psychology, trauma, and nursing; physicians; and state- and
federal-level policymakers. Advocates, child and youth
practitioners, and clinicians in general will find it a compelling
resource.
