Chapters explore how prenatal stress affects cognitive, affective, behavioral, and neurobiological development in children while pinpointing core processes of adaptation, resilience, and interventions that may reduce negative behaviors and promote optimal outcomes in children. Th is complex perspective on mechanisms by which early environmental influences interact with prenatal programming of susceptibility aims to inform clinical strategies and future research targeting prenatal stress and its cyclical impact on subsequent generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey areas of coverage include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe developmental effects of prenatal maternal stress on children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpigenetic effects of prenatal stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntergenerational transmission of parental early life stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe microbiome-gut-brain axis and the effects of prenatal stress on early neurodevelopment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe effect of prenatal stress on parenting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGestational stress and resilience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrenatal stress and children’s sleeping behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrenatal, perinatal, and population-based interventions to prevent psychopathology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrenatal Stress and Child Development is an essential resource for researchers, professors and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and related professionals in infancy and early childhood development, maternal and child health, developmental psychology, pediatrics, social work, child and adolescent psychiatry, developmental neuroscience, and related behavioral and social sciences and medical disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcerpt from the foreword:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e“I would make the plea that in addition to anyone with an interest in child development, this book should be essential reading for researchers pursuing “pre-clinical, basic science models of neurodevelopment and brain health”…. This book provides what in my mind is the most advanced compilation of existing knowledge and state-of-the-art science in the field of prenatal psychiatry\/psychology (and perhaps in the entire field of prenatal medicine).  This volume can brilliantly serve to focus future directions in our understanding of the perinatal determinants of brain health.”Michael J Meaney\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames McGill Professor of Medicine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslational Neuroscience Programme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjunct Professor of Paediatrics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-04-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030601614\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-60159-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 643\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385529950348,"sku":"9783030601614","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030601614.jpg?v=1778002856","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030601614","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
