Dante Cicchetti is a leader in the fields of developmental psychology and developmental psychopathology, particularly on the conduct of multilevel research with high-risk and disenfranchised populations, including maltreated children and offspring of depressed parents.〔Cicchetti, D., & Toth, S. L. (2005). Child maltreatment. Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, 1, 409-438.〕 He currently holds a joint appointment in the University of Minnesota Medical School’s psychiatry department, and in the Institute of Child Development. He is the McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair and the William Harris Endowed Chair. Having received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Pittsburgh, Cicchetti began his graduate work at the University of Minnesota in 1972, where he completed a joint Ph.D. program in clinical psychology and developmental psychology. He was on the faculty of Harvard University from 1977 to 1985, where he served as the Norman Tishman Associate Professor of Psychology until he left for the University of Rochester in 1985. There, he was the director of the Mt. Hope Family Center for 20 years. Cicchetti is the founding and current editor of the academic journal Development and Psychopathology. ==Major accomplishments== Cicchetti has played a pivotal role in defining and shaping the field of developmental psychopathology. While at Harvard, he began publishing important papers on emotional development, Down syndrome, child maltreatment, and on the development of conditions such as depression and borderline personality disorder. Then, in 1984, he edited a special issue of Child Development on developmental psychopathology that served to acquaint the developmental community with this emerging discipline. In that special issue he himself wrote a seminal, defining paper titled, “The emergence of developmental psychopathology.”〔Cicchetti, D. (Ed.). (1989). Rochester symposium on developmental psychopathology: The emergence of a discipline (Vol. 1). Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.〕 These efforts were critical in launching what was to become one of the most vital fields in all of developmental science. Subsequently, the emergence of the field was crystallized in 1989 with the publication of the first of the 9 distinguished volumes of the Rochester Symposia on Developmental Psychopathology,〔Developmental Psychopathology by Dante Cicchetti, Donald J. Cohen ISBN 0471237353 (0-471-23735-3. John Wiley & Sons Inc.〕 as well as with the inaugural issue of the journal Development and Psychopathology. Without Cicchetti, the field of developmental psychopathology would not be what it is today, nor would our understanding of the causes and consequences of child maltreatment be what it is, nor would the progress of integrating disciplines be what it is, and nor would the lives of thousands of children and parents be as enriched as they are.〔Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science. C. B. Fisher & R. Lerner (Eds). Newbury Park, CA: Sage, CA ( 2004.)〕 Cicchetti's major research interests lie in the formulation of an integrative developmental theory that can account for both normal and abnormal forms of ontogenesis.〔Curtis, W. J., & Cicchetti, D. (2003). Moving research on resilience into the 21st century: Theoretical and methodological considerations in examining the biological contributors to resilience. Development and Psychopathology, 15, 773-810. 〕 His work has opened new frontiers in several domains, including: * Developmental psychopathology.〔Cicchetti, D. (2002). How the child builds a brain: Insights from normality and psychopathology. In W. Hartup & R. Weinberg (Eds), Child Psychology in Retrospect and Prospect. Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology, Vol. 32 (pp. 23-37). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.〕 * The developmental consequences of child maltreatment.〔Shonk, S., & Cicchetti, D. (2001). Maltreatment, competency deficits, and risk for academic and behavioral maladjustment. Developmental Psychology, 37, 3-17.〕 * Neuroplasticity and sensitive periods.〔Cicchetti, D., & Blender, J. A.

A., Manly, J. T., & Cicchetti , D. (2006). The efficacy of toddler parent psychotherapy to reorganize attachment in the young offspring of mothers with major depressive disorder. Journal of Consulting & Clinical Psychology, 74(6), 1006- 1016.〕 * Multilevel perspectives on resilience; and 9) multilevel evaluations of randomized controlled trial interventions for depressed and maltreated children and adolescents.〔Flores, E., Cicchetti, D., & Rogosch, F.A. (2005). Predictors of resilience in maltreated and nonmaltreated Latino children. Developmental Psychology, 41(2), 338-351.〕 Cicchetti's research is funded by public and private institutions or agencies, including the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the Office of Child Abuse and Neglect, and the William T. Grant Foundation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dante Cicchetti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
