Reviews and Endorsements

'Professor Diem-Wille has done a remarkable job in bringing the latest observations on child development, based on the ideas of Freud and Klein as implemented in work at the Tavistock Clinic in London and at the University of Vienna. The book is of great relevance to professionals in the human relations field, but is also written in such a readable and humane manner that it should appeal to countless parents of young children. I strongly recommend it.'
- Anton Obholzer, Director, Tavistock Clinic, London, 1985-2002

'Diem-Wille treats her readers with great sensitivity, never wanting to prescribe, emphasizing the wide range of "normal behaviour" and taking into account the doubts and objections which might be raised regarding the views put forward. It is a book which will be of great value to parents, teachers, pediatricians, and all those concerned with furthering the understanding of children.'
- Isca Salzberger-Wittenberg, author of The Emotional Experience of Learning and Teaching
