Affect Regulation and the Development of Psychopathology

"In this pioneering work, noted clinician - researcher Susan J. Bradley sets forth an integrative new model for understanding the development of psychopathology." "The volume presents current findings on such risk factors as loss, trauma, and abuse; temperamental or stress reactivity; brain insult; attachment difficulties; and sensitivity to expressed emotion or familial conflict. Showing that these traits and experiences have all been linked to psychological problems, Bradley demonstrates that they also share a tendency to disrupt the regulation of affect. She details the development of affect regulation, with special attention to the influence of learning and experience on the physiology, chemistry, and structure of the brain. The book shows how disruptions in this aspect of development make some individuals more likely than others to experience heightened states of distress or emotional arousal."--Jacket.
