Childhood has long been considered the major factor in determining
adult life. It sets us on the path toward or away from happiness,
shapes our personality, and is a major cause of mental disorders.
Or is it? Myths ofChildhood strongly challenges these assumptions
usually taken for granted in contemporary society and the mental
health community. With a healthy dose of scepticism toward clinical
impressions and using empirically-based research from areas
including behavioral genetics and attachment, Dr. Paris builds a
convincing case against the primacy of childhood in the development
of adult personality and psychopathology. In its place, he offers
an alternative model for development and shows how mental health
professionals can apply this model to clinical pracitce. Myths of
Childhood represents an important addition to the ongoing debate
between mental health professionals regarding nature vs. nurture.
For supporters of either side , this book is a valuable resource
for further exploration of this controversy.
