From the first volume published in 1968, the Annual Progress series has set the standard for the field in its yearly compilation of outstanding contributions to the literature. Rich in diversity and scope, this 29th annual edition of Annual Progress continues to provide the most up-to-date research and scholarship available in the field of child psychiatry and child development. Under the judicious editorship of Drs. Hertzig and Farber, this volume is comprised of 24 articles that illuminate groundbreaking work in the study of the child to present a clear, thoughtful, and systematic picture of child psychiatry and development today.
In the Annual Progress tradition, the 1996 edition is a benchmark against which all other contributions to the literature will be measured. Mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents will find the book invaluable for both its timely information and its long-term reference value. Researchers will find substantial information in its pages for new spheres of inquiry.
