The Interpersonal World Of The Infant: A View from Psychoanalysis and Developmental Psychology / Edition 1

by Daniel N Stern

Overview

A View from Psychoanalysis and Developmental Psychology Challenging the traditional developmental sequence as well as the idea that issues of attachment, dependency, and trust are confined to infancy, Stern integrates clinical and experimental science to support his revolutionizing vision of the social and emotional life of the youngest children, which has had spiraling implications for theory, research, and practice. A new introduction by the author celebrates this first paperback edition.
