The Psychological Development of Low Birthweight Children

Practitioners and researchers address the critical issues, as well as contemporary approaches, used to deal with the developmental social, intellectual, and coping problems of low-birthweight infants and their families. Following a comprehensive introductory overview, the remaining 17 chapters fall into four sections: epidemiological, medical, and theoretical considerations; social and emotional development; intellectual and academic competence; and interventions and their effects.
