This text provides an interesting and informative account of the
child's journey from the womb to the world outside, through
childhood and into adolescence. It is based on the belief that it
is vital for those training to work with children who have problems
to understand what is typical or atypical in children's
development.
The first half of the book, discussing normal patterns of growth
and development, is cross-referenced to equivalent chapters in the
second half, which discuss the atypical route. These connections
serve to emphasize the continuities between, and similarities of,
children with typical and atypical conditions. Among the
difficulties covered are:
Pervasive developmental disorders
Genetic disorders
Physical impairments
Learning difficulties
Brain damage
Emotional and behavioural disorders
Personality disorders.
Physical and mental illnesses
The text also deliberately links developmental and clinical
psychology approaches in order to help readers connect their
theoretical understanding of the physical and psychological
problems of childhood with the practicalities of assessment,
rehabilitation and treatment.
