International Science and Technology Fellow at the University of Tokyo. He was visiting professor at La Sapienza University in Rome, the Charles University in Prague, and at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. In 2006, Tufts University recognized Dr. Miczek with the Distinguished Scholar Award, and he was elected fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He published some 200 research journal articles and 40 reviews, and edited 20 volumes on psychopharmacological research concerning brain mechanisms of aggression, anxiety, social stress, and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. He was originally educated in Berlin (Germany) and received his Ph.D. in biopsychology from the University of Chicago. Currently, the work in Dr. Miczek’s laboratory investigates two problems in the areas of (1) stress and drug abuse, and (2) behavioral neurobiology of aggression. First, members of the laboratory aim to learn about neuroadaptive mechanisms via which specific social stressors can intensify compulsive drug use or alternatively engender depressive-like anhedonia. Second, they are seeking to characterize the neurobiological features of those individuals who engage in escalated aggression after alcohol consumption.

these problems. Much of this work has focused on the development and treatment of conduct problems among youth exhibiting callous and unemotional (CU) traits. Over the past 8 years, this has involved analyzing data from two of the most extensive longitudinal studies ever conducted within the United States: the Pittsburgh Youth Study (co-director) and the Pittsburgh Girls Study. Dr. Pardini’s innovative research directly influences the adoption of the new conduct disorder specifier based on the presence of CU traits (called limited prosocial emotions) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and earned him the Early Career Contribution Award from the Society of the Scientific Study of Psychopathy (2013). He is currently serving as a consultant to members of the Conduct Disorders Research Committee for the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). He has also been involved in research designed to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for children exhibiting early aggression, including the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) and the Resources to Enhance the Adjustment of Children (REACH) programs.

On February 26–27, 2014, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Forum on Global Violence Prevention convened a workshop titled Mental Health and Violence: Opportunities for Prevention and Early Intervention. The workshop brought together advocates and experts in public health and mental health, anthropology, biomedical science, criminal justice, global health and development, and neuroscience to examine experience, evidence, and practice at the intersection of mental health and violence. Participants explored how violence impacts mental health and how mental health influences violence and discussed approaches to improve research and practice in both domains. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
