Series Foreword
The Child Psy chol ogy and Mental Health series was designed to capture
the dynamic interplay between biology and experience in a format that
was more accessible to the general public than is the case for lit er a ture pub-
lished in academic scientific journals. The series advocates for a stronger
developmental science with re spect to understanding the dynamic changes
that characterize the organ ization of be hav ior from prenatal life to that of
the adolescent. The series focuses on individual monographs, books, and
edited volumes that summarize knowledge advancement with re spect to
understanding the origins of developmental psychopathology, effective
child care, parenting be hav ior, and the impacts of public policy on pro-
grams that impact children from conception through adolescence.
Debbie Carvalko, editor at Praeger/ABC- CLIO, originally recruited
Susanne Ayres Denham and me to serve as coeditors for the series, an eight-
year partnership that produced 10 volumes from 2001 to 2008. Since then,
I have served as series editor with an additional nine volumes published,
plus the two revised volumes on obesity in childhood and adolescence.
One would think that the mental and behavioral health of children would
have improved over the past 18 years, but there is evidence to suggest that
it has not. The percentage of c hildren exposed to adverse early child expe-
riences has increased. The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased.
The use of opioids has reached epidemic proportions among adolescents.
And the sad fact related to all of these increases is that they are all poten-
tially preventable. Advances in developmental science have produced
striking new knowledge about the dynamic relationship between the indi-
vidual’s genotype and experiences that shape gene expression. We know
so much more about the impact of experience on the organ ization of the
relationship- and stress- regulatory areas of the brain. And we know how

impor tant the first five years of life truly are with re spect to the formation
of one’s sense of self, other, and self– other relationships.
Solving children’s mental health prob lems is impossible unless they are
viewed as complex systems, systems that require transdisciplinary efforts
to craft more positive and supportive developmental pathways. Therefore,
I w ill continue to welcome investigators from the social and behavioral sci-
ences, the life sciences, the behavioral neurosciences, and the vast areas
of m ental health practice to send proposals for books that w ill help to edu-
cate the general public about the crisis in mental health today. As Suzanne
Denham and I noted in the first edition of the current volumes, “We are
quick to place blame for Amer i ca’s obesity epidemic on single causal f actors,
but . . . like many childhood disorders, [obesity] has a multifaceted etiol-
ogy and w ill require equally multifaceted solutions.” It should be a m atter
of deep societal concern that this message is as true t oday as it was in 2008.
