The past achievements and future promises of developmental psychopathology: the coming of age of a discipline
Open accessAbstract
Over the past decades, developmental psychopathology has coalesced into a discipline that has made significant contributions toward the understanding of risk, psychopathology, and resilience in individuals across the life course. The overarching goal of the discipline has been to elucidate the interplay among biological, psychological, and social‐contextual aspects of normal and abnormal development. In addition to directing efforts toward bridging fields of study and aiding in elucidating important truths about the processes underlying adaptation and maladaptation, investigators in developmental psychopathology have been equally devoted to developing and evaluating methods for preventing and ameliorating maladaptive and psychopathological outcomes. Increasingly, efforts are being made to conduct investigations at multiple levels of analysis and to translate basic research knowledge into real‐world contexts. In this article, the contributions, challenges, and future directions of the field are highlighted.

“Investigators in the field of developmental psychopathology also are invested in comprehending individual pathways to competent adaptation despite exposure to significant adversity or prolonged trauma (i.e., resilience – see Luthar, Cicchetti, & Becker, 2000; Masten, 2001).”

“Although they had been in use in biology for nearly three decades before they emerged in the vocabulary of psychopathologists, concepts of developmental pathways, multifinality and equifinality, now are prominent in the field (Cicchetti, 1990; Cicchetti & Rogosch, 1996; Sroufe, 1989).”

“This is not surprising given that the degree to which a particular factor is protective depends heavily upon context, including the specific risk factors with which it is interacting (Cicchetti & Lynch, 1993; Sameroff, Gutman, & Peck, 2003).”

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.
