In his acclaimed "Bowling Alone, " Robert Putnam describes the
United States as a nation in which we have become increasingly
disconnected from one another and in which our social structures
have disintegrated. But in the final chapter of that book he
detects hopeful signs of civic renewal. In "Better Together" Putnam
and coauthor Lewis Feldstein tell the inspiring stories of people
who are reweaving the social fabric by bringing their own
communities together or building bridges to others.
One of the most influential child psychiatrists of the twentieth century, Donald J. Cohen (1940-2001) made groundbreaking contributions to the study of autism and developmental disabilities, Tourette's syndrome, developmental psychopathology, child psychoanalysis, and children's adaptation to trauma. As director of the Yale Child Study Center from 1983 to 2001, he fostered international collaborations and innovative approaches to the study of children's mental health. This book contains a selection of some of his most enduring and influential writings. Showcasing Dr. Cohen's distinctive approach, these essays - one of which is published here for the first time - address a wide range of topics including autobiographical writings; childhood psychiatric disorders; the role of play fantasy, aggression, and violence in childhood; and research ethics and mentorship.
