1. The Impact Of Early Life Trauma On Health And Disease
A comprehensive synthesis of research demonstrating how adverse experiences in childhood alter brain development, stress-response systems, immune and endocrine functioning, and gene expression, thereby increasing vulnerability to psychiatric disorders and chronic physical illnesses across the lifespan; the book combines epidemiology, neuroimaging, neurobiology (HPA axis, autonomic nervous system, inflammation, epigenetics), and clinical perspectives to explain mechanisms linking early trauma to later health outcomes and to outline implications for assessment, prevention, and trauma-informed treatment strategies.
