Prevention of psychiatric disorders in early childhood.

No other period of the life cycle has captured as much attention as the first 5 years in regard to personality development. During this period of rapid growth it is difficult to isolate biological events involved in the maturation of the brain from social experiences that help shape the development of personality. The possibility that social experiences can produce permanent changes in the structure and functioning of the brain during such periods has sustained the idea that a «sensitive» period exists in early development (Scott, 1962). This review of early childhood intervention studies will examine whether such concepts are relevant to the prevention of psychiatric problems during infancy or the pre-school years
