Abstract:
This chapter focuses on new concepts and new paradigms shedding light on the complex issue of socioenvironmental factors that affect the psychologic development of the child. Longitudinal controlled studies have sorted out "what leads to what under which circumstances," adding to the heuristic value of the addition of risks and of the Bronfenbrenner's ecologic model of development and disentangling the socioeconomic status (SES) from poverty. We emphasize the importance of taking attachment styles and attachment disorganization into account for a better understanding of both normal development and early psychopathology. Intervention studies demonstrate the real life effect of the gene-environment interaction with or without epigenetic processes. Thus, this chapter deals with paradigmatic situations as ADS, Prader-Willi, or prematurity as they allow us to learn more about early development and epigenetic influences.
