Trauma, Antisocial Behavior and the Brain

Southwestern University presents
Social and Emotional Development and Risk: The Role of Neurobiology
"Trauma, Antisocial Behavior and the Brain"
James Blair, PhD
Summarizing recent neuroimaging work and theory regarding trauma in youth with antisocial behavior problems.
Recent advancements in technology have moved our understanding of human development and psychopathology from broad behavioral definitions towards biological, psychological, and social mechanisms. This push towards understanding the underlying neurobiology of both normative and atypical development has been considerably advanced by neuroimaging techniques. This symposium brings together the leading theorist on the neurodevelopment of psychopathy, Dr. James Blair, and Dr. Laura Thornton and Rachel Thibodeau, two Southwestern alumnae and early-career scientists who focus on understanding typical and atypical neurodevelopment. Their presentations will highlight current scientific and theoretical advancements in the field of developmental neuroscience. Topics discussed will include early interventions for at-risk children, the role of trauma in the development of antisocial behavior, and the use of behavioral neuroscience to further understanding of antisocial behavior and callous-unemotional traits.

This man is a gentleman and a scholar. That being said he’s very correct. We need better diagnostic testing for mental illness in order to check the efficacy of psychiatric medication.
