TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the reader to the focal topic of normality by providing a well-organized review of the beginnings of child psychology, as rooted in the reconstruction from adult analysis, child analysis, and direct observation.
Abstract: As the author notes in the preface, several of the sections of this book have been previously published. The emphasis on normality and the study of pathology based on interferences in normal development have been stressed in the communications of other clinicians. Yet, even though the reader will be familar with a great deal of the content, the volume is worthy of reading in its entirety.

In contrast, women, many minority groups, and nonWestern societies have generally placed greater emphasis on issues of relatedness. This article traces the individualistic bias and recent challenges to this view. It is proposed that evolutionary pressures of natural selection result in two basic developmental lines: interpersonal relatedness and self-definition, which interact in a dialectical fashion. An increasingly mature sense of self is contingent on interpersonal relationships; conversely, the continued development of increasingly mature interpersonal relationships is contingent on mature self-definition. Conclusions include implications for social policy and for facilitating more balanced development of both dimensions in all members of society.
