James Anthony, because it represents a collective effort toward a goal that today seems very necessary yet difficult to attain. This goal is the synthesis of developmental psychology with all the other aspects of child psychology into a science of ontogenetic development from birth to maturity encompassing three points of view-the biological, the behavioral, and the internalization of the behavioral into mental life. This synthesis is indeed necessary since it is not possible to understand a disorder or a developmental arrest without having a sufficient knowledge of l the ensemble of elements that has brought it about. At each level of development, the personality of the subject attempts to integrate a multiplex system of factors in varying proportion, and without carefully and fully considering this interdigitating whole, it is not easy to disentangle the mechanisms involved in any particular functional disintegration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284250222743,"sku":"9781468421293","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781468421293.webp?v=1769280623","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/explorations-in-child-psychiatry-9781468421293","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
