Description
From before birth, children form parts of networks of relationships - relationships that are crucial to their development. Children depend on caregivers not only for their physical development and protection, but also for their cognitive, social, and emotional development. Since effects of early relationships may persist into adult life, they may affect marital relationships and parental style, thereby influencing future generations. This volume looks at relationships within the family, with particular emphasis on consequences for the children. Levels of analysis range from conceptualizing the family as an entire system with constituent subsystems, to the analysis of moment-to-moment interactions between individuals. Development psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, psychiatric social workers, paediatricians.
