Review of: Toddlers and Their Mothers: A study in Early Personality Development

Reviews the book, Toddlers and their mothers: A study in early personality development by Erna Furman (see record 1992-97519-000). Erna Furman's insightful new work, Toddlers and Their Mothers, describes her affirmative effort to place the toddler in the forefront of diagnostic and treatment protocols. She focuses on a population often overlooked by child health care workers. Straddling the tenuous domain between infancy and the early school years, toddlerhood remains the forgotten era. Furman skillfully articulates the noteworthy maturational challenges that confront children of this age and, in so doing, awakens the reader to the remarkable potential that characterizes children during these years of pivotal transformation.
