{"product_id":"myths-of-childhood-joel-paris-9780876309667","title":"Myths of Childhood","description":"Childhood has long been considered the major factor in determining adult life. It sets us on the path toward or away from happiness, shapes our personality, and is a major cause of mental disorders. Or is it?\u003cbr\u003eMyths of Childhood strongly challenges these assumptions usually taken for granted in contemporary society and the mental health community. With a healthy dose of scepticism toward clinical impressions and using empirically-based research from areas including behavioral genetics and attachment, Dr. Paris builds a convincing case against the primacy of childhood in the development of adult personality and psychopathology. In its place, he offers an alternative model for development and shows how mental health professionals can apply this model to clinical pracitce.\u003cbr\u003eMyths of Childhood represents an important addition to the ongoing debate between mental health professionals regarding nature vs. nurture. For supporters of either side, this book is a valuable resource for further exploration of this controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Paris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087630966X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780876309667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.17w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 4","brand":"Joel Paris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452535193855,"sku":"9780876309667","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82473a01-f2d2-469d-b86c-adb406187e68.jpg?v=1761929005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myths-of-childhood-joel-paris-9780876309667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
