How research on child maltreatment has informed the study of development: Perspectives on developmental psychopathology
In outlining these distinct pathways to antisocial behavior, we have tried to illustrate some key concepts
from developmental psychopathology such as equifinality and multifinality, the importance of understanding the interface between normal and abnormal development, and the importance of using multiple levels of analyses to advance causal theories.

The psychodynamics of borderline personality disorder: A view from developmental psychopathology
