Theory and Research in Behavioral Pediatrics
Fitzgerald, Hiram E. / Fitzgerald, H. E. / Lester, B. H.
This volume posits two theories of behavioral pediatrics: that scientific and clinical study of organism--environment transactions requires investigators to alter recognize the importance of systemic models over mechanistic models, and that attention must be given to environmental contexts of development, and to the events in the environment that trigger and regulate the organization, development, and expression of human behavior.
