Describing each phase of the psychosexual development of children, the author argues that sexuality manifests itself in children in various ways, including their games, rich fantasy life, and masturbation. It also demonstrates that the roots of adult neuroses can often be traced back to disturbances in sexual development during childhood.
In 1973, three women and two men were held hostage in a bank in Stockholm by two ex-convicts. This book describes how the hostages and their captors formed a bond (now known as the Stockholm Syndrome); and how survival mechanisms for the women could be seen to mirror those employed in daily life.
These stimulating companion volumes reflect an expansion of the coverage of Wrightsman's earlier book Personality Development in Adulthood. They encourage readers to look at the evolving nature of their own lives, and include case studies throughout to illustrate concepts in a thought-provoking, non-technical manner.
This is a concise, state-of-the-art synthesis of the vast amount of information related to attention deficits and hyperactivity in children. The author explores key issues such as: whether there is in fact a valid syndrome; which factors predict subsequent adolescent and adult functioning; and the most suitable assessment instruments. The volume encompasses a wide range of perspectives, including clinical, developmental, psychodiagnostic, psychobiological, environmental/familial and social cognitive.

`Another gem from Judy Dunn! This very readable and interesting book asks some searching questions about how relationships change with age, how one sort of relationship influences others and how thought processes shape or control our interactions with other people.... The result is a challenging (and sometimes provocative) account of what we know today, together with a look forward to likely developments in the years to come. The book is a must for anyone interested in either the social development of children or the meaning of interpersonal relationships' - Michael Rutter, Institute of Psychiatry, London How and why do children of the same family have strikingly different relationships with their mother and father, with each other and with their friends? Dunn provides a careful examination of current research in the area; she examines how these differences in close relationships originate, whether they are linked to one another and whether troubled parent-child relationships can result in children having difficulties making friends in later life. The author also considers whether it is possible to specify at what stage of development particular relationships are likely to have effects on other relationships; the influence of cultural concepts on the perception and conduct of close relationships; children's social understanding and its impact on relationships; and differences in children's temperament and attachment behaviour.
