Summary: diverse take-offs on a central theme
Comment: Here are 23 chapters combining theoretical and empirical work on risk and reslience. Contributors include the most well-known names in the field. The focus on resilience ("protective factors") as well as risk is a big plus.

Infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood are all given some attention here. Topics taken up for analysis include depression, divorce, maternal stress, and eating disorders. It's a diverse collection of articles all sharing one question: when two people face the same circumstances, why does this one develop psychopathology and this one not?

Important reading. A central book for those seriously interested in the development of psychopathology.
