tional Sciences, University of Leuven; Reader in the Research Department of Clinical,
Educational, and Health Psychology, University College London; and Visiting Pro-
fessor at the Yale Child Study Center. His research focuses on the role of personal-
ity, stress, and interpersonal processes in depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and
fibromyalgia. Dr. Luyten is also currently involved in studies on mentalization-based

chopathology, and neurobehavioral teratology. Dr. Mayes’s work focuses on stress-
response and regulatory mechanisms in young children at both biological and psy-
chosocial risk. She also focuses on how adults transition to parenthood and the basic
neural circuitry of early parent–infant attachment. Dr. Mayes and her colleagues
have developed a series of interventions for parents, including Minding the Baby, an

intensive home-based program, and Discover Together, a program to enhance com-
munity and family resilience.
