Temperament In Clinical Practice

This book offers a realistic and eminently practical understanding of the role temperament plays in development. The combination of wisdom, common sense, and concrete clinical strategies found in these pages will prove invaluable to psychiatric and health professionals, teachers, and special educators. It also serves as a benchmark text for advanced courses in child psychology and psychiatry.


The reissue of this classic text, which features a context-setting new foreword and preface, was designed to fill the growing need of today's health maintenance organizations, community family services, and individual clinicians for a reference and guide to the application of temperament theory to clinical practice.
