This text concludes on the basis of empirical evidence that theories which ascribe overriding importance to the early years are erroneous. The authors examine the wide-ranging theoretical and practical implications of their findings. There is no indication that early experiences are unimportant; but they represent no more than the first steps in an ongoing and complex life path, on which the shaping or re-shaping of development can occur in any period.
Some research problems ..... and solutions; development under ''natural'' circumstances; children rescued from very severe adversity; contrary evidence? Appendix - some questions and answers.
This slim book packs a powerful argument. At it's core, Clarke and Clarke conclude that the weight of scientific evidence demonstrates that human beings recover remarkably well from adverse experiences where there has been well-constructed early intervention to provide more favourable circumstances.
