We present a new first-principle theory for the calculation of the macroscopic second-order susceptibility chi^(2), based on the Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory approach. Our method allows to include straightforwardly the many-body effects. We apply the theory to the computation of the Second-Harmonic Generation spectroscopy, showing a very good agreement with experiment for cubic semiconductor GaAs.
