THE BIOLOGY OF EARLY LIFE STRESS GEBUNDEN

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 maltreatmentToward an

maltreated children with and without PTSDChildhood maltreatment and pediatric PTSD:
abnormalities in threat neural circuitryAn integrative temporal framework for psychological
resilienceThe 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
