Produktbeschreibung
Adverse Childhood Experiences: Using Evidence to Advance Research, Practice, Policy, and Prevention defines ACEs, provides a summary of the past 20 years of ACEs research, as well as provides guidance for the future directions for the field. It includes a review of the original ACEs Study, definitions of ACEs, and how ACEs are typically assessed. Other content includes a review of how ACEs are related to mental and physical health outcome, the neurodevelopmental mechanisms linking ACEs to psychopathology, sexual violence and sexual health outcomes, and violence across the lifespan. Important and contemporary issues in the field, like reconsidering how ACEs should be defined and assessed, the appropriateness of routine ACEs screening, thinking about ACEs from a public health and global perspective, strategies for preventing ACEs, understanding ACEs and trauma-informed care and resilience, and the importance of safe stable and nurturing environments for children are discussed. Adverse Childhood Experiences is a useful evidence-based resource for professionals working with children and families, including physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, lawyers, judges, as well as public health leaders, policy makers, and government delegates.
Autorenporträt
Gordon J. G. Asmundson, Ph.D. is an international expert on psychopathology and its overlap with chronic health conditions. He is a Registered Doctoral Psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Regina. He was born in Zweibrucken Germany on a Canadian Air Force Base and was raised in Canada where he received his BA, MA, and doctorate in Psychology from the University of Manitoba. In 2005-2006 he trained as a Beck Scholar at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in Philadelphia. He holds several editorial posts, including Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Anxiety Disorders and of Clinical Psychology Review, and serves on the editorial boards for nine other journals. His research and clinical interests are in assessment and basic mechanisms of fear, the anxiety and related disorders, and chronic pain, and the association of these with each other, maladaptive coping, and disability. His pioneering work on fear and avoidance in chronic pain and his shared vulnerability model of co-occurring PTSD and chronic pain have led to significant advances in understanding and treating these prevalent, disabling, and costly conditions. His empirical work on PTSD and other anxiety-related conditions has also influenced changes in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Dr. Asmundson has published over 380 peer-reviewed journal articles, 70 book chapters, and 8 books. He is a Fellow of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and of the Canadian Psychological Association. In addition to numerous prestigious awards received over the course of his career, in 2009 Dr. Asmundson received the highest accolade available to scientists and scholars in Canada - induction as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada - and in 2014 received the Canadian Psychological Association Donald O. Hebb Award for outstanding contributions to the science of psychology. Dr. Asmundson is married and has two children.
Rezensionen
"This edited book is a very useful compilation of research and perspectives on the rapidly expanding field of Adverse Childhood Experiences. Its chapters offer a systematic coverage of issues by some of the leading authorities on the topic. Two features are of particular value and interest. Several of the contributors provide important criticisms and cautions about various aspects of the field and its development, such as the definitions of adversities and the proposals to screen for universal screening. In addition, many contributors provide excellent suggestions for future research. Given that much of the ACE literature is scattered in a variety of interdisciplinary journals, this book is a good starting place to get a broad and nuanced exposure to the topic." --David Finkelhor, Department of Sociology, University of New Hampshire

"This outstanding compilation is an indispensable reference for all researchers, clinicians and policy-makers engaged in work on adverse childhood experiences. It provides a history of the landmark ACEs Study and a scientific synthesis of the health outcomes of ACEs, while indicating how the original ACEs Study may inspire future development. The collection has a strong focus on public health and prevention, and embraces the imperative to use research to inform practice. A range of chapters consider issues spanning family environments to social settings, and consider issues from the neuroscience of trauma to resilience and growth. This book should help inform future research directions, clinical practice, and policy approaches to better prevent, identify and respond to childhood adversities." --Professor Ben Mathews, Director, Childhood Adversity Research Program, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia; Adjunct Professor, Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health
