Specific topics include the associations between childhood abuse and the following factors:Juvenile sexual offendingJuvenile delinquencyAdult aggressionCognitive developmentAdult smokingSleep patternsSuicidal behaviorsPsychopathologyEpigenomic mechanismsEdited by a Harvard developmental behavioral pediatrician, this important compendium offers state-of-the-art knowledge to professionals and graduate students in the helping fields.
