Description
Do the first two years of life really determine a child's future development? Are human beings motivated only by pleasure? Do people have stable traits, like intelligence, fear, anxiety, and temperament? This book, by one of the founders of developmental psychology, takes on the powerful assumptions behind these questions-and proves them mistaken.
