In this first compendium in the growing literature of behavioral teratology, readers will discover an easy-to-access, concise presentation that covers many bases. It synthesizes important findings that help explain why prenatal events may result in abnormal behavior and learning disabilities later in life. The book also examines the role of prenatal perturbations, along with genetics and the postnatal roles of caretakers and the social environment, in light of how each may - individually or together - contribute to conditions as varied as dyslexia, schizophrenia, fetal alcohol syndrome, and autism. The authors also address the research needs in behavioral teratology that are likely to lead to discoveries that may ensure the birth of healthier babies who develop normally across their lifespan. With its multidisciplinary approach, this volume is a must-have resource for clinical child and school psychologists; educational professionals; medical practitioners; social workers and counselors as well as researchers and graduate students in these areas.
