Editorial Reviews

A collection of invited essays celebrating Barbara Tizard's contributions of research and public policy focused on disadvantaged children in Britain. The 13 contributors extend her contributions by building on her research of educationally, emotionally, and socially deprived children, as well as connecting such research with social policy particularly in the area of childcare in the UK. The policy analyses are situated in the context of current issues involving unemployment, changing family structures, the identity questions of children of mixed racial parentage, and the long-term effect of children's early institutionalization. Includes an interview with Tizard. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
