The 97th Annual Meeting
March 1-3, 2007
The Crowne Plaza Hotel Times Square Manhattan, New York, NY
Scientific Program
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness
Tremendous advances have been made in identifying genetic and environmental influences on the development of emotional and behavioral disorders of children and adolescents. The 2007 meeting will address a number of key issues for advancing our understanding of the etiology of child psychiatric illness with a long term goal of improving the way we conceptualize, assess, and treat child psychiatric illness. Presentations will address the remarkable progress the field of developmental psychopathology has made since its inception. Attention will be paid to how techniques in genetic epidemiology, including the study of phenotypic refinement, environmental modifiers, molecular genetic, and endophenotypic approaches have advanced our understanding of the etiopathogenesis of common child psychopathology and wellness. The broad aim of the conference is to explore how the study of genetic and environmental contributions using a developmental approach can advance knowledge of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
