Vulnerability has become the focal point of much theory and research in the study of psychopathology. Until now, however, work on child and adult disorders has largely been conducted separately, with little cross-communication of knowledge on risk factors across the lifespan. This important work brings together leading clinical researchers to lay the foundations for an integrative lifespan perspective on biological, psychological, and social-contextual processes of vulnerability. Demonstrated are ways that the vulnerability construct can lead to genuine progress in understanding not only the genesis of psychological symptoms, but also their prevention and treatment. For each of the major disorders, a chapter on the condition as it appears in childhood and adolescence is followed by a chapter on adulthood. Contributors review theories of vulnerability and resilience, current findings, and clinical implications of the research. A third chapter on each disorder, written jointly by the authors of the previous two, highlights commonalities and differences in child and adult psychopathology and identifies key questions that remain unanswered.

"This much-needed book makes a significant contribution to research-based theories of the etiologies of major mental health problems in children, adolescents and adults. It reaches beyond the symptom classification schemes that are more typically featured in abnormal child and adolescent psychology texts. Rather, the authors review and discuss current research on the developmental processes, contextual risks, and resources that affect individual vulnerabilities across the lifespan. This book's approach sets theories of developmental psychopathology in motion. It directs our attention to the diverse individual and environmental responses that can modify vulnerabilities to mental health problems, and makes targets for prevention and intervention programs immediately comprehensible. A unique text for graduate courses in psychology or psychiatry, the book provides detailed suggestions for future research that may well inspire our graduate students to add to this growing body of knowledge." Bonnie Leadbeater, PhD, Department of Psychology and Youth and Society Research Group, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
"In a time of increasing specificity, both for the diagnosis of psychopathology and its treatment, Ingram and Price invite us to step back and consider an alternative. Their emphasis on vulnerability as a dominant, cross-cutting conceptual framework demonstrates that there is still a role for general principles to inform our understanding of abnormal behavior. Readers will gain an appreciation for the broad trajectory of vulnerability processes that are laid down in childhood, and then expressed and treated in adulthood under the more common labels of depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Whether for graduate or undergraduate study, students will find this book authoritative and impressive. Furthermore, because of its integrative lifespan focus, it will set the standard for psychopathology texts for years to come." Zindel V. Segal, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Toronto
