Summary

Monographs in this series are derived from the Vulnerable Child Discussion Group, a crucible for ideas on child development. Intrapsychic issues as well as environmental ones of poverty, family breakup, and poor health care are tackled head on as essential considerations for child analysts. The third volume in the series discusses young children and violence, psychopathy, narcissism, prenatal cocaine exposure, and foster and day care.
