"Early adversity as a central organizing influence on multi-problem behavior in children"

This talk focuses on what our study of young foster kids is revealing about the effects of certain early-rearing environments on stress-regulatory neural systems, how this might help us understand complex and hard-to-treat kids, and the mutability of affected behavioral and biological systems under the proper environmental conditions.
