Críticas

This is a much needed book for students of all disciplines related to working with children, be it within social work, medicine, psychology, or education'

– Dr Heidi Aase, Institute of Public Health, Norway

'This should be placed high on the reading list of any programme. The book is well designed with a number of case studies, reflective questions and exercises, and useful reading lists. It is easy to locate specific information and to follow themes across chapters.'

– Dr Mark Blades, University of Sheffield, UK

'Impressively, the discussion moves beyond psychology to take into account social, cultural, biological and economic theory and data. Students and practitioners will no doubt find this engaging and incredibly informative'

– Professor Paula Reavey, London South Bank University, UK

'Featuring contemporary examples and links to policy and practice, this is a very valuable contribution to the literature on child development'

– Dr Gabriela Misca, University of Worcester, UK

Reseña del editor

Have you ever considered what atypical development looks like in practice? Or how it occurs? Would you like to know which children are most at risk and why?

In this new and fully updated edition, Janet M. Empson explores what is 'normal' and what is 'atypical' or 'unusual' in children's development. Combining key research with insightful case studies and examples, she examines the processes, circumstances, and conditions associated with developing atypically. This is invaluable reading for both students and professionals involved in child development.
