Development of Psychopathology by Benjamin L Hankin
Divided into three parts, this book systematically integrates vulnerability-stress models of psychopathology with a developmental psychopathological approach. It brings together leading experts in the field of vulnerability, stress, specific vulnerabilities to psychological disorders, psychopathological disorders and clinical interventions.
"A book integrating developmental psychopathology within a vulnerability stress framework is highly desirableWithin my graduate psychopathology course, I strive to integrate these two areas but an appropriate text has been lacking! This text seeks to fill the void." -- Terri L. Weaver
"Bringing together developmental psychopathology frameworks and the vulnerability-stress models of psychological disorders in an excellent idea. I am aware of no other book that incorporates these two approaches. Having taught Psychopathology courses for both masters and doctoral students, I reviewed many books to recommend and use in the courses. It is my belief that a book of this type is needed particularly for graduate students." -- Linda Guthrie
"a blending of two important approaches to understanding psychopathology- the developmental approach and the vulnerability approach. I think a book like this is timely, is needed, and would be of interest to professors who teach courses in psychopathology at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels." -- Robin Lewis
"I am continually looking for alternatives to the traditional undergraduate textbook of psychopathology…I prefer to assign edited volumes as primary texts in my classes because such volumes expose students to material that has not been "dumbed down” for undergraduates…a book combining the developmental and vulnerability-stress perspective is a useful addition and the editors generally have selected a strong list of authors….This is precisely the type of book I seek when choosing a textbook for my classes." -- Carolyn Black Becker, Trinity University

Benjamin L. Hankin (Ph.D., Clinical Psychology, University of Wisconsin, Madison) is a clinical psychologist at the University of South Carolina . His primary areas include development of depression in children, adolescents, and young adults; cognitive vulnerability-stress models of depression; developmental psychopathology; gender differences in depression; and comorbidity of depression and other psychiatric disorders. He is particularly interested in research aimed at applying cognitive risk factors to predict depression and anxiety during adolescence and young adulthood and in understanding the developmental origins or cognitive vulnerability to depression. His research also examines the mechanisms through which various developmental precursors of risk, such as personality traits and maltreatment, may operate to contribute to vulnerability to psychopathology. He regularly teaches the basic undergraduate course on Abnormal Psychology as well as graduate courses on developmental psychopathology, theory and research of psychotherapy, and techniques of psychological intervention. John R.Z. Abela received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Psychology at McGill University, where he studies vulnerability to depression in children and adolescents. At the same time, he is a staff psychologist at Montreal Children′s Hospital, where he also serves as Director of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Clinic. At a young age, he has already established a name for himself. He received the Young Investigator Award from NARSAD in 2000 and again in 2003 and received the Young Psychologist Award at the XXVII International Congress of Psychology in July 2000.
