Description
This volume contains contributions from leading scholars of causal thinking in epidemiology and psychopathology research. Based on presentations at the ground-breaking 2008 meeting of the American Psychopathological Association, the authors explore the meaning of causal statements that are made from statistical and experimental evidence; then, they suggest novel approaches to analyze these statements and thus make them more informative and medically rigorous.
