Personality Development is a comprehensive overview of infant observation and personality development. It starts at inter-utero life and goes through to adulthood, focusing on the emotional tasks involved at each stage of development and the interplay of internal processes and external circumstances.

Contents include:

* intra-uterine life and the experience of birth

* babyhood: becoming a person in the family

* the toddler and the wider world

* the latency period.

Using clinical and observational material, it will be of interest to those teaching personality development courses, as well as mental health and child care professionals.
