Emotional development, in particular, is a key area in which many different theoretical and methodological approaches have come together. This book takes on the tasks of constructing a consistent theoretical framework for this field and providing a general overview on emotional development. It offers a state-of-the-art look at this area, going beyond infant emotional development.
