Abstract
This volume offers the presentations and related commentary from a multidisciplinary conference entitled: “Gene-Environment Transactions in Developmental Psychopathology: Role in Intervention Research.” The meeting was held in Chicago on September 10 and 11, 2014 under the auspices of the Brain Research Foundation. This working conference was the second in the series of efforts designed to examine substantive scientific and methodological issues related to gene-environment transaction with the context of developmental psychopathology . The participants were asked to join in this effort to identify novel opportunities for scientific and clinical advances by exploring translational science and its ability to broaden our knowledge base, pursue novel methods, and set an agenda for the next phase in the study of developmental psychopathology.
