Abstract
Much has been written recently about the long-term consequences of adverse experiences in childhood on physical and mental health, but the flip-side of that relationship is even more interesting: why do some children survive and even prosper after adversity, while others are permanently impaired? This talk presents an integrated approach that relates psychosocial, neuroendocrine, and genetic systems to understand resilience and suggest directions for effective therapy.
