Kumsta, Robert; Kreppner, Jana; Rutter, Michael; Beckett, Celia; Castle, Jennifer; Stevens, Suzanne; Sonuga-Barke, Edmund J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
It has come to be generally accepted that the psychopathological effects of psychosocial stress and adversity are diagnostically nonspecific. There is a good deal of supporting evidence in support of this assumption, even though it may be that the nonspecificity has been exaggerated through a failure to take account of comorbidity. This chapter…

In chapter IV, the authors focused on their findings on the developmental course of deprivation-specific psychological patterns (DSPs).
