Developmental Psychobiology of Aggression by David M. Stoff (English) Paperback

Description: Developmental Psychobiology of Aggression by David M. Stoff, Elizabeth J. Susman The studies in this book draw upon knowledge from multiple disciplines (e.g., child development, anthropology, psychobiology, psychiatry and genetics) with the hope that investigating aggression at multiple levels of analysis will provide a springboard for a new generation of research oriented towards understanding the causes of aggression. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is the outgrowth of a memorial conference to honour the scientific contributions of Robert B. Cairns, an internationally recognised interdisciplinary developmental scientist. It is organised around research themes that were an integral part of Dr Cairns theories and research: neural and developmental plasticity; brain-behaviour bidirectionality; gene-environment interactions. Throughout this book, these themes are linked together by employing animal models and clinical investigations through multiple levels of analysis approach to understanding the origins, development, desistance and prevention of aggression. These studies will add to the compendium of basic knowledge on the developmental psychobiology of aggression and will aid in the ultimate translation of this knowledge to clinical and community settings. This book hopes to foster the legacy of Robert B. Cairns to facilitate the theoretical development and research of a new generation of developmental scientists dedicated to relieving the tragic consequences of aggression on the individual and society.
