Beskrivning

Follow seventy-six children from birth to thirty to learn about their various developmental life paths and their influences. Children traverse continuous or discontinuous courses. This book describes their life stories, which may transform and enrich the reader's life. In working with these people, the authors heard something basic: stories people tell about themselves. While a life may fall into a group - share characteristics with others - the individual's story remains compelling: to group people is to some degree against psychoanalysis, a humanizing discipline. The authors allow the subjects to speak at length in their own voices, to bring themselves alive for the reader. It is the authors hope that they have been able to convey their awe about watching the inner worlds of children and that these stories may evolve in readers minds and hearts and thus be remembered.

Recensioner i media

'A momentous project. there are few long-term studies of individual lives, and fewer still that combine sophisticated psychological observations with psychoanalytic understanding and span the entire period from the earliest mother-infant relationship to adulthood.'- Robert Michels, M.D., Walsh McDermott, University Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at Cornell University.'A tremendous piece of work! I read the whole book through without stopping ... Life-long stories are the best of stories....'- Lenore Terr, M.D., Author of Too Scared to Cry, Clinical Professor Psychiatry, UCSF.'An important work that illuminates one of the most important psychological issues of the day; how much continuity is there in the child's journey from infancy to maturity.' - Judith Wallerstein, Ph.D., School of Social Welfare, UC, Berkeley.
