Tackling some of the most important ideas in child psychology and
human development, Human Resilience presents key theories from Ann
and Alan Clarke's pioneering work in this field. The Clarkes
discuss major interacting influences on development, including
genetic and environmental effects, chance events and the tendency
for people to influence their environments in ways that reinforce
their personal characteristics. In particular, they address various
issues surrounding IQ inheritance and outline factors affecting the
success of several intervention programmes, including fostering and
adoption. The emerging importance of resilience as a fundamental
human characteristic makes this book of great significance to
psychologists, social workers and students. Anyone working with
disadvantaged children and those with learning disabilities will be
interested in Human Resilience's practical implications: how
resilience can be improved both by personal characteristics such as
self-esteem, problem-solving ability or sociability, interacting
with external support.
