This perceptive work examines the relationship between child development and social welfare, exploring the interactions between children's moral and intellectual development, their relationships with parents and peers, and the socioeconomic background in which they live. Drawing on many areas of developmental psychology, the author presents an integrated approach which stresses that a child's self-perception, as well as his or her perception of the nature of parenthood and of society, form a basis for marality and achievement in adolescence and early adulthood. Siegal considers the implications of shifting patterns of parenthood in recent years--the working mother, the increasingly mobile family--and he weighs the potential influence of an interventionist developmental psychology on social welfare policy.

"Fun to read....The book stimulates many exciting and thought-provoking ideas." --American Journal of Psychiatry"This important work is recommended." --Choice"Contains a careful and thoughtful review of research in developmental psychology . . . To his credit, Siegal has taken the analysis of these issues further than one would have thought possible. The book is thus successful as a staging area for future scientific progress." --Contemporary Psychology"This innovative approach allows an impressive array of research findings to be drawn together with inspirational clarity and theoretical coherence, while at the same time maintaining a firm practical grounding. Child development researchers and instructors will appreciate the book both for its effective and concise summaries of burgeoning research issues such as the matternal employmenht or causal attributions, and even more so for the deft way in which Siegal manages to use new data to illuminate longstanding theoretical controversies . . . Its imagainative and effective integration of such a wide array of important empirical and theoretical information gives a rich new perspective on the multiple interfaces between childhood and society." --Australian Psychologist"Deals with social policy, work, social psychology, and child development....timely and promises to shed new light on an important area." --Contemporary Sociology
