Reviews

'The goal of the editors is to assemble a state-of-the-art report on research and clinical issues that center on topics of vulnerability, invulnerability, coping and defense, resilience and risk, and long-term follow-up life history research. This volume meets that goal admirably. I recommend it highly for all mental health professionals. -- Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry <br>
