Abstract

Human development begins with genetic endowment and neurophysiological potential, and unfolds via the interaction between the individual and his or her nurturing environment. Psychosocial adversity, abuse, neglect, trauma and illness can adversely affect the developmental trajectory. The risk and protective influences of environment are interwoven with biological vulnerabilities and resilience to determine the complex aspects of psychiatric health or illness.
