Selected Writings of Selma Fraiberg - Paperback
$89.91
by Louis Fraiberg (Editor)
Social worker, psychoanalyst, and child-development expert Selma Fraiberg's iconic book, The Magic Years, has influenced generations of caregivers, therapists, and clinicians since its publication in 1959. No less rich are the essays that make up this new, accessibly priced reissue of her Selected Writings.
Like The Magic Years, these essays (including her hugely influential "Ghosts in the Nursery") glean their insights from years of clinical study and contain Fraiberg's synthesis of and groundbreaking contributions to attachment theory, child psychology, social work, and, through her work with blind children, the experience of disability in infancy and childhood. Clinical rigor paired with attunement to the emotional lives of her subjects was Fraiberg's hallmark: as her husband Louis writes in his preface to this volume, "Once, when asked how she knew what babies were thinking, she replied, 'They tell me.'" Lucid and elegantly written, her Selected Writings will remain a valuable resource for new generations of social workers, mental-health professionals, educators, and others who work with young children.Back Jacket
This selection of papers carries that study still further and will be a most useful book for social workers, psychologists, child psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts.
