He conducts research on the effects of abuse, neglect, serious deprivation and exposure to violence on young children and on interventions designed to help them recover. He has also studied approaches to understanding psychopathology in young children, in particular, disorders of attachment posttraumatic stress disorder, as well as interventions for young children who have experienced maltreatment. Questions under investigation include how early experiences affect development, what is similar and different about psychopathology in the early years, and what are the neurobiological correlates of behavioral disturbances in young children? >>more
