Food Additive Safety Evaluation

The Link to Behavioral Disorders in Children

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 7))

Abstract

Deprived and disordered environments are such a compelling source of behavioral pathology that some of the intrinsic mediating links are eclipsed by their social and economic setting. Unremitting violence, inadequate health care, and decayed housing are such glaring faults that they easily can obscure these connections. But many of these mediating processes are destined to play an increasingly crucial role, both as explanatory concepts and as guides to intervention. The most provocative might be termed pathological molecular processes.
