Originally published in 1986, this volume emerged as a result of a conference organized by Barbara Snell Dohrenwend and the editors on behalf of several esteemed organizations, including the Society for Life History Research in Psychopathology, the Society of the Study of Social Biology, and the Center for Studies of Mental Health of Aging at the National Institute of Mental Health. The central theme of the conference was life span research on the prediction of psychopathology, with the overarching goal of bringing together renowned researchers who were actively engaged in longitudinal investigations at the time. These researchers, collectively, covered a comprehensive span of life, encompassing infancy to old age. To ensure that the presented papers remained up-to-date and reflective of the most current considerations in the field, they underwent extensive updates. Consequently, the chapters that follow offer a glimpse into the state-of-the-art perspectives of some of the most groundbreaking ongoing studies focused on predicting psychopathology during that particular era.
