Summary
Abstract: This volume concerns the ways in which culture conditions the problems of human development. The quality and frequency of developmental problems are strongly shaped by the human environment and these chapters discuss how we structure our children's risks in general, and for some specific disorders. This information is intended for cross-cultural, developmental, life-span, and clinical psychologists; medical, psychological, and psychiatric anthropologists; and to scholars in public health and medic ine who are concerned with analyzing the patterns of mental and physical health of children and devising strategies for intervention.
