More About This Textbook

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Inaugurates a new scholarly series of works dedicated to honor the contributions of T.C. Schneirla. This volume presents original research and theoretical papers based on the approach/withdrawal concept, a major theoretical contribution by Schneirla to developmental psychobiology and comparative psychology. Discussions of A/W theory are presented from several levels: biochemical and neural, developmental, individual organismic, and social. Finally, the editors define the idea of integrative levels and discuss its ramifications for psychology. The papers were originally presented at the fifth T.C. Schneirla Conference at Pennsylvania State U. in November 1989. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
