Abstract

A life course perspective is central to developmental psychopathology. Longitudinal research has consistently demonstrated that most adult disorders have roots in childhood difficulties, and most childhood disorders have sequelae that persist to adult life. Identifying the processes that underlie these long-term continuities and discontinuities is central to the developmental psychopathology approach. This chapter draws together evidence of this kind, using findings on homotypic continuities in selected disorders, heterotypic transitions among disorders, and the long-term sequelae of exposure to early adversity to highlight current issues in the field. Because longitudinal research poses particular methodological challenges, it also includes a brief overview of methodological issues in long-term research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
