AbstractThe Wisconsin Twin Project comprises multiple longitudinal studies that span infancy to early adulthood. We summarize recent papers that show how twin designs with deep phenotyping, including biological measures, can inform questions about phenotypic structure, etiology, comorbidity, heterogeneity, and gene–environment interplay of temperamental constructs and mental and physical health conditions of children and adolescents. The general framework for investigations begins with rich characterization of early temperament and follows with study of experiences and exposures across childhood and adolescence. Many studies incorporate neuroimaging and hormone assays.

Psychiatric Problems

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric problems in children and adolescents. The present article summarizes the main evidence that has accumulated on the pathogenesis of childhood anxiety disorders during the past two decades. Various risk and vulnerability factors (e.g., genetics, behavioral inhibition, disgust sensitivity, negative life events, family influences), protective factors (e.g., effortful control, perceived control), and maintaining factors (e.g., avoidance, cognitive biases) will be discussed. The information will be described in terms of a developmental psychopathology perspective, which assumes that (a) most forms of psychopathology are the result of multiple causal influences; (b) both successful and unsuccessful adaptation are important for understanding the origins of psychopathology; and (c) psychopathology occurs in a developing organism.

Adolescent Brain Development

While every major model of depression has proposed that positive affect is disrupted in the disorder, it is only recently that scientists have devoted their attention to disruption of the neural aspects of positive affect in depression. This attention is burgeoning, and accumulating evidence, including meta-analytic findings, supports reduced function in the ventral striatum, a basic and critical reward-related brain region. The disruption of positive affect and reward neural systems is particularly germane to adolescence, when reward systems undergo dramatic changes and depression onset is most likely to occur. This chapter provides a developmental psychopathology and affective neuroscience perspective on the disruption of positive emotions in depression by focusing on adolescent brain development, reward function, and depression. This work is extended to social context and development of the self, both of which are impacted by depression and both of which develop prominently in adolescence. These aspects of behavior share common neural substrates with depression, and disruption to their development by the experience of depression could compromise effective functioning during adulthood.

The Impact

With advancements in the technology of prevention and treatment of childhood anxiety disorders, information regarding our understanding of normal and abnormal child development can be enriched. Typically, research has focused on developing efficacious and effective interventions with less attention devoted to the impact this information may have on the field of developmental psychopathology. By reviewing the results of both treatment and prevention studies, several potential contributions of intervention research to the field can be explored. Results from wait-list or monitoring control groups will be reviewed, providing valuable information regarding the normal trajectory of the anxious child. Outcomes of children receiving the intervention prove that this pathway can be altered and is not impermeable. Furthermore, a review of long-term follow-up studies addresses the question of whether intervention can change the long-term trajectory of an anxiety-disordered child and prevent disorders in later life. Contributions to the etiological understanding of the anxiety disorders will also be reviewed: changes in variables considered important in the etiology and maintenance of disorder can be examined in synchronicity with changes in symptomatology following intervention. An examination of potential developmental predictors of treatment outcome will also contribute to this review, with a focus on the limitations of the current research in gaining a complete understanding of the relationship between developmental level and outcome. Directions regarding future research in the study of interventions for child and adolescent anxiety disorders will be discussed with the aim of promoting further communication between intervention research and the field of developmental psychopathology.
