“…As universal education spread across Europe and the United States in the second half of the century, children who could not handle the demands of the educational system became a visible and troubling group. In their historical overview of child psychiatry, Chess and Habibi (1978) pointed out that the distinction between, and division of responsibility for, idiots and lunatics was far from clear until the twentieth century; in 1876, all the charter members of the American Association on Mental Deficiency were psychiatrists, and the child guidance movement in the United States began at the University of Pennsylvania in a clinic set up by Winner in 1894 primarily to care for the feebleminded. Gradually, over the course of the nineteenth century, specific groups of children were described, and causes for their disabilities were identified.…”

Introducing epidemiology as the study of health and illness in human populations, we discuss what questions modern epidemiology addresses, the key methods it uses, and how these methods can be applied to developmental psychopathology. A short history of how child psychiatric epidemiology has grown into developmental epidemiology illustrates society's changing concerns about child mental health. We describe some of the ways in which developmental epidemiology is branching out into related areas: life course and intergenerational epidemiology; global epidemiology; genetic epidemiology; the study of burden of disease, including cost‐benefit analysis; and the use of epidemiologic designs to test hypotheses about causation. Finally, we note that developmental epidemiology extends the range of translational epidemiology. We make the case that (1) the goal of epidemiological research is disease prevention; (2) understanding the development of a disease and intervening to prevent and control it are equally important aspects of epidemiological research; (3) understanding the development of a disease may point to different kinds of intervention at different stages in the developmental process; and (4) understanding individual development is a critical part of understanding and intervening in the disease process because both risk for and expression of disorder change over the life course.

“…It is important, in fact, that professionals should be sensitive to the possibility of ISD, because parents, whether or not they recognize ISD, are likely to experience negative side effects. Problems include parental (especially maternal) stress, depression, and marital difficulties, plus daytime sleepiness and irritability in the child and possibly in affected siblings, and restrictions in the frequency and intensity of positive parent-child interaction (Chess & Hassibi, 1986;Durand & Mindell, 1990;Fergusson, 1982;Pritchard & Appleton, 1988;Seymour, 1987). More research is urgently needed into the negative effects of ISD on families and into the generality of any positive effects wrought by effective intervention.…”

“…Anthropological research suggests that, because of variation in the nature of these practices, there is considerable variation among cultures in the age at which infants and children typically demonstrate accomplishments such as sleeping through the night (see Konner & Super, 1987, for a review). This indicates that the development ofsleep can be modulated through "regulatory intervention" by parents and caregivers (Chess & Hassibi, 1986).…”

Chronic sleep disturbance, such as bed refusal, sleep-onset delay, and night waking with crying, affects 15% to 35% of preschool children. Biological factors, particularly arousals associated with recurrent episodes of rapid-eye-movement sleep, render infants vulnerable to repeated awakenings. Parental failure to establish appropriate stimulus control of sleep-related behaviors and parentmediated contingencies of reinforcement for sleep-incompatible behaviors may shape and maintain infant sleep disturbance. Treatment and prevention strategies are discussed, and research needs are identified.

“…Observe regulatory style of parent The style of the caretaker's regulatory demands and the nature and consistency of prompts to eat, whether highly directive or facilitative,has been the focus of study (Klesgest'fal, 1983;Chess & Hassibi, 1986);the latter arguing that "the majority of eating disturbances in early childhood are caused by the child's reaction to the regulatory demands of his caretakers". Early feeding battles may begin, they suggest, with the feeding preferences of the child and the regulatory demands of a rigid parent.…”

It is now well established that children of parents who have psychiatric disorders are at risk of developing disturbances themselves (Rutter, 1989; Garmezy & Masten, 1994). Of particular concern is that these disturbances may persist well after remission of the parental disorder. Eating disorders occur commonly among women of child-bearing age (Szmukler, 1985; Fairburn & Beglin, 1990) and the prevalence seems to be rising (Treasure et al, 1996). Estimates indicate that at least 2% of women aged 16–40 suffer from bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa, and up to 4% when other eating disorders are considered (Fairburn & Beglin, 1990; Hoek, 1993). It is therefore surprising that the potential implications for their offspring have received so little attention until recently. Knowledge of whether these children are at risk and the mechanisms underlying any transmission of disturbance is important so that appropriate treatment can be instituted and preventive strategies put in place.
