Mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders with childhood onset are a major public-health concern (WHO,2005).Basedon theNationalComorbidity Survey Replication study, about half of all Americans will meet the criteria for a DSM-IV disorder sometime in their life, with first onset usually in childhood or adolescence (Kessler et al., 2005). Impulse control and anxiety disorders lead the way with a median age of onset of 11 years of age. It is likely that amajority of mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders begin in childhood and adolescence. Yet the mental health needs in young people are often unmet, even in high-income countries (Leckman & Leventhal, 2008; UNICEF, 2007). Given the stigma associated with mental disorder and the small numbers of trained professionals, there is an urgent need to develop efficacious interventions aimed at prevention or early treatment that can be implemented by non-specialist health workers in primary health care settings (National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, 2009). The focus of this annual review issue is the importance and the current status of prodromal research. As various reformulations of diagnostic criteria are being considered as part of theDSM-Vand ICD-11 deliberations, there is an urgent need to highlight the importance of developmental and dimensional processes that contribute to the emergence of full syndromes (Hudziak, Achenbach, Althoff, & Pine, 2007; Pine et al., 2010; Regier et al., (2009); Shaffer, Fischer, & Burke, 2010). Understanding how best to identify and intervene with individuals at clinical high risk for schizophrenia, for example, is an area with a long history, increasing maturity and sophistication (Correll, Hauser, Auther, and Cornblatt, in press). For other disorders, such as pediatric-onset major depression, the stage is set for a major advance in the years to come (Kovacs & Lopez-Duran, in press). For other conditions, including pediatric-onset bipolar disorder, despite significant progress and potential, progress towards developing efficacious early interventions has just begun (Luby & Navsaria, in press). Finally, for substance use disorders, but indeed for all disorders, the question arises: Is defining a prodrome even possible in the absence of an accurate understanding of developmental pathophysiology underlying the disorder (Costello & Angold, in press; NAMHC Workgroup on Neurodevelopment, 2008)? Questions abound in this area of research. What is a prodrome? Does the characterization of a disorderspecific prodrome have the potential to provide useful heuristics for early detection and intervention? Can a prodrome even be identified prospectively (Eaton, Badawi, & Melton, 1995)? How does a subclinical form of a disorder relate to the concept of prodrome? To what extent does our need to sort child and adolescent mental disorders (CAMDs) into discrete, reliably identified diagnostic entities create difficulties for this area of research? Will current efforts to make nosological systems more developmental and dimensional be useful in defining prodromal states? How do ‘genetic and environmental risk factors’ and heritable ‘endophenotypes’ relate to prodromes? What more do we need to know vis-à-vis specific disorders, or more especially, overlapping groups of disorders, before significant progress can be made? Despite these questions, certain themes and perspectives recur throughout this issue. Perhaps most prominently, how the child’s genetic endowment, prenatal environment, temperamental predisposition, early parenting, peer relationships, and larger social and intergenerational environments shape and mold the child’s behavior and the relevant neural pathways over the course of development. Tremblay (in press) touches on each of these issues as he explores the origins of disruptive behavior problems, reminding us of the evolutionary value of aggressive behavior for our species and that the peak frequency of physical aggression for most humans is ‘somewhere between 2 and 4 years of age.’ He also points to the critical importance of genes and other features of the child’s early life circumstances: ‘maternal characteristics – lifestyle – mental health, family characteristics, maternal parenting and child Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 51:4 (2010), pp 333–340 doi:10.1111/j.1469-7610.2010.02226.x
