Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This volume brings together developmental and clinical issues through consideration of the longitudinal study method. Consisting of thirteen studies, each described by the active research workers who pioneered them, the research questions posed range from highly specific issues such as the changes in the family as the result of the birth of a second child, to broader considerations such as the effects of different forms of treatment. What each study has in common is the use of measurement of changes over time to gain an understanding of the processes and mechanisms involved in both normal development and problem behavior.
