Samenvatting:

As editor of the Springer-Verlag Series in Psychopathology, Lauren Alloy knew of my work in cognitive psychophysiology to study processing anomalies in nonpatients at risk for psychopathology and invited me to edit a book for the series.



The Behavioral High-Risk Paradigm in Psychopathology examines both traditional clinical research on psychopathology and psychophysiological research on psychopathology, with an emphasis on risk for schizophrenia and for mood disorders. Complementing treatments of risk for psychopathology in other sources which emphasize either genetic factors or large-scale psychosocial factors, the edited chapters focus on individual and familiar behavioral phenomena as a means for understanding risk for psychopathology. Leading researchers in specific areas of each disorder have contributed review chapters from a clinical (symptom, family history, etc.) or a psychophysiological perspective.
