Dante Cicchetti is an American developmental psychologist and developmental psychopathology scientist specializing in high-risk and disenfranchised populations, including maltreated children and offspring of depressed parents.[1] He holds a joint appointment in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota Medical School and in the Institute of Child Development. He is the McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair and the William Harris Endowed Chair.




Biography


Cicchetti received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Pittsburgh and a Philosophy of Doctor degree from the University of Minnesota in 1972 in clinical psychology and developmental psychology. He was on the faculty of Harvard University from 1977 to 1985, where he was the Norman Tishman Associate Professor of Psychology. In 1985, he left for the University of Rochester, where he was the Mt. Hope Family Center director. Cicchetti is the founding and current editor of the academic journal Development and Psychopathology.




Career


While at Harvard, he began publishing research on emotional development, Down syndrome, child maltreatment, and the development of conditions such as depression and borderline personality disorder. In 1984, he edited a special issue of Child Development on developmental psychopathology to acquaint the developmental community with the emerging discipline.
Cicchetti's primary research interests lie in formulating an integrative developmental theory that describes and explains human psychological functioning. His work has involved several domains, including developmental psychopathology, the developmental consequences of child maltreatment, neuroplasticity, and sensitive periods. Additionally, he has researched the impact of traumatic experiences on brain development, the biology and psychology of unipolar and bipolar mood disorders, the interrelationships among molecular, genetic, neurobiological, socio-emotional, cognitive, linguistic, and representational development in normal and pathological populations, the study of attachment relations and representative models of the self and its disorders across the life span, and multilevel perspectives on resilience.
Cicchetti's research has been funded by 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.
