How do we make sense of people? Human behaviour is complex, so that
understanding ourselves and others calls for both objective and
subjective viewpoints, as well as a flexible appreciation of human
development over time. Dr Sula Wolff believes that knowledge about
personality development is essential in three important domains: in
the appraisal of deviant behaviour at all ages; in the development
of social policy for children; and in therapeutic interventions for
children and their families. In this book, originally published in
1989, Dr Wolff gives a comprehensive account of the major aspects
of personality development in childhood. She reports research
findings and presents developmental theories in their historical
context, stressing the interplay between biological and cultural
influences on development. Her account includes a wealth of
illustrative case histories, with children and parents speaking for
themselves; these provide fascinating reading and give substance to
statistical results and theoretical propositions. Clearly and
simply written, the book will be of interest to many people, and
will still be of value to medical students, psychiatrists in
training, students in social work and psychology, and teachers in
special education.
