Abstract
Adjustment is a broad concept dealing with how a child responds to stress. At their core, adjustment disorders are disorders of the stress response system. In this chapter we discuss how stress response systems operate to yield resilience or disorder. We define adjustment disorders and explain their prevalence, prevention, and treatment. An emphasis is placed on cultural perspectives and adjustment disorders in high-risk groups.
