Continuities and discontinuities in psychopathology between childhood and adult life

Article Abstract:

The possible mechanisms involved in continuities and discontinuities in psychopathology between childhood and adult life are considered in relation to the findings from systemic, prospective, long-term longitudinal studies. Findings on schizophrenia, neurodevelopmental disorders, emotional disturbances, antisocial behavior and substance abuse are used as conditions illustrating the key issues, while suggesting greater use of genetic research strategies and testing of possible cognitive processing mediation effects.
