This book has a question mark in its title because it aims to invite inquiry. The possibility of integrating psychoanalytic and behavior therapies has been controversial since it was first proposed about 50 years ago, and this has elicited a wide range of reactions from both psychologists and psy chiatrists.

In either case, we hoped that it would present a healthy challenge to current forms of...
The book describes the experience of Rafael Calderón-Almendros (the first person with Down syndrome to obtain a professional music degree in Spain) and his family. A confrontation arose with his school at the end of his compulsory secondary education stage.

The branch of psychology which focuses on human learning is known as educational psychology. It is associated with the study of memory, conceptual processes and differences between individuals for the purpose of formulating new strategies for learning processes in humans. Educational psychology relies heavily on another branch of psychology known as developmental psychology. This discipline studies how the feelings, behavior and thinking of an individual change throughout the life. Developmental psychology defines human cognitive development over different periods of development. Therefore, the developmental sequence of a student can provide information about the level and kind of knowledge which can be absorbed by them. This in turn can be useful in deciding the subject matter to be taught to them. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of educational and developmental psychology. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of this field and related fields. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
