Opis

The subject of personality and how we differ from one another behaviorally has long fascinated parents, teachers, and scientists, but because no true "pathology" was involved, it was traditionally the arena of psychologists and behavioral scientists. Today, the question of temperament--and how it contributes to the development of psychiatric disorders--is one posed by mainstream psychiatry as a major area of investigation. From depression to ADHD to autism, temperament can play a definite role, but how, and to what degree In this book, David Rettew examines the research and discusses the factors that can propel children with particular temperamental tendencies toward or away from more problematic trajectories.
