Synopsis
Comparative studies of normal self-development and atypical psychopathological populations contribute to an understanding of normal development of the Self.
Booknews
The outgrowth of papers presented during, and discussions generated at, the October 1991 symposium, this volume highlights how knowledge of normal self-development can be applied to the study of atypical and psychopathological populations and, likewise, how examination of abnormality can enhance understanding of the normal development of the self. The papers illustrate advances that have been made in understanding the developmental mechanisms that contribute to anomalies and perturbations in the self systems of high risk and disordered populations.
