FIGURE 1 Developmental Psychopathology Framework

      It is our hope that this textbook will provide you with a rich understanding of psychopathology that moves beyond simple characterizations of mental health disorder as something you either do or do not have—something that was absent one day and emerged the next. The developmental psychopathology approach instead paints a more complicated, flexible picture of psychopathology. We will review research in each of the areas described above, showing that psychopathology emerges through the combination of many factors that shift across time—some of which are deeply buried in our biology and some of which exist in our outside environments. This approach is not only consistent with the most cutting‐edge science, but it can help combat stereotypes and stigma about mental illness head‐on by showing that all of us are shaped by small and large forces across our lives, many of which are out of our control.
