Routledge Abnormal Children: A Book for Parents & Teachers - Psychology Revivals

This foundational text by Bernard Hollander, originally published in 1916, examines nervous defects and mental development in children from infancy through age twenty-one. The Routledge Psychology Revivals edition brings this historically significant work back into print for modern readers interested in paediatric psychology and educational approaches. Hollander addresses both subnormal and supernormal children, exploring the causes of abnormality and proposing practical methods for educators and medical practitioners to minimise defects whilst maximising each child's potential. Originally written for parents, teachers, and school medical officers, this book offers valuable historical perspective on childhood development and educational intervention strategies that remain relevant to contemporary discussions about child psychology and special education.
