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

One of the most striking aspects of the epidemiology of depressive
disorders is the rapid rise in incidence observed between the ages
of 11 and 14. This book explores the developmental changes
occurring during the transition from childhood into early
adolescence in order to understand how vulnerability to depression
develops.
The authors focus on emotional development, which serves to
encapsulate the cognitive, sexual, interpersonal and familial
changes that occur during this life stage. This is an essential
read for practicing psychiatrists and psychologists who work with
early adolescents, along with academics and researchers interested
in affective science or developmental psychology and
psychopathology. Other professionals working with children and
adolescents, including teachers, social workers, counsellors and
family practice physicians will also find this a useful summary of
the latest scientific developments that are shedding light on the
vulnerabilities and opportunities particular to this critical stage
of life.

It is widely accepted that most psychiatric disorders are
associated with cognitive impairment and that neuropsychological
approaches can help unravel the mechanisms underlying brain
function and help us develop a better understanding of these
disorders. In this book, a panel of the world's leading experts
describe the development of neuropsychological approaches to the
investigation, description, measurement and management of a wide
range of mental illnesses. Part One explains the rationale for
examining neuropsychological processes within clinical disorders,
leading into Part Two summarizing and critiquing the methodological
approaches to study. Part Three covers each of the major
psychiatric disorders and provides a summary of the
neuropsychological findings for each condition. The final section
brings together the perspectives of neuroscientists, psychiatrists
and philosophers. Essential reading for all those studying the
healthy as well as the disordered brain, The Neuropsychology of
Mental Illness will appeal to specialists from the fields of mental
health, psychology, clinical neuroscience and philosophy.
