In this work, the Child Psychiatry Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry has compiled the conclusions of new research, under publicized studies, and hard-to-find governmental reports on the development of psychopathology in children. Only through such longitudinal studies can we examine early personality traits and behavior that may lead to serious psychopathology later in life and identify effective prevention methods. 
This report ? Reviews several studies of early therapeutic school-based prevention programs such as Head Start, the New Haven School Development Program, Project Giant Step, Success for All, and preschool intervention programs? Examines issues related to the effects of environmental stress and of medical issues on developing psychopathology? Reviews the effects of mentally ill parents on a child's development, including both stress and heredity factors? Presents studies of the outcome of pathology for children with specific psychiatric diagnoses, such as in children with chronic medical illnesses, childhood traumas, mood and anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorders, and eating disorders? Considers the effects of race, gender, and comorbidity on later development of pathology? Provides insight into the long-term effects of a child's disorder on other family members and presents research that helps us understand which childhood mental health problems children outgrow and which lead to later psychopathology 
This invaluable resource consolidates current knowledge about the factors promoting or deterring children's development toward healthy adulthood. It is especially helpful in assisting practitioners with clinical decision making.

Unique in its conceptualization, execution, and value to the reader, People With Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System: Answering a Cry for Help is based upon thousands of letters sent to Dear Abby by mentally ill individuals and their families who have been involved with the criminal justice system. Selected stories were turned into case studies by the Committee on Psychiatry and the Community Committee Members of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, each designed to illustrate a specific type of clinical, programmatic, or systemic approach that can be utilized in any setting to help these individuals avoid unnecessary incarceration, receive appropriate interventions, and make progress toward recovery. Although psychiatrists and other mental health professionals will find the book relevant and engaging, it has been written at a level that the layperson can understand and includes a listing of criminal justice/mental health online resources indispensable to this audience, increasing its potential reach and thus its impact. Most important of all, People With Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System: Answering a Cry for Help is an informed call for compassionate change and a prescription for advocacy for the mentally ill in the criminal justice setting.
