Biography

Michael Lewis, Margaret Wolan Sullivan

"This volume has much to offer investigators concerned with either atypical children or with emotion processes."
—CHOICE

"This is an important addition to the growing knowledge base on normal and abnormal emotional development. Each contribution is well-grounded in normative emotional processes and examines affective development in atypical children against the backdrop of normal development. Because the contributors address the reciprocal interplay between emotional development in normal and atypical children and consider the practical implications of understanding the emotional difficulties of these youngsters, Emotional Development in Atypical Children makes a major contribution to the field of developmental psychopathology. This book will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of clinical and developmental psychologists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and educators, as well as of graduate students or residents in these specialty areas."
—Dante Cicchetti, PhD
Mt. Hope Family Center, University of Rochester

"This is an unusually fine collection of papers on emotional development in atypical children. The chapters contain valuable reviews of the literature and offer insights for better understanding of the emotion-related problems of handicapped children. This book will guide and inspire new research on special populations of children."
