In June 2005, a distinguished group of researchers gathered at the University of Pennsylvania to synthesize recent developments in the field of adolescent brain development and their implications for the prevention of mental disorder. The results have been released in a new volume, Adolescent Psychopathology and the Developing Brain: Integrating Brain and Prevention Science, published by Oxford University Press.
In addition to contributions from leading psychologists, neuroscientists and researchers, Adolescent Psychopathology and the Developing Brain features a glossary of brain science terms, a discussion of policy implications and a collection of rich diagrams and images.
