Product Description
by Leta Stetter Hollingworth (Author)
The Psychology of Subnormal Children, written by Leta Stetter Hollingworth and published in 1920, is a comprehensive study of children with intellectual disabilities. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the definition and classification of subnormal children, as well as the methods used to identify them. The second part of the book delves into the psychological characteristics of subnormal children, including their cognitive abilities, emotional development, and social behavior.Hollingworth's research is based on her extensive experience working with subnormal children in various institutional settings, as well as her observations of children in their natural environments. She draws on a wide range of sources, including case studies, experimental research, and historical records, to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing subnormal children and the best approaches for supporting their development.The Psychology of Subnormal Children is a pioneering work in the field of special education, and it remains relevant today as a foundational text on the psychology of intellectual disabilities. Hollingworth's insights into the complex nature of subnormal children and the importance of individualized approaches to their education and care continue to inform current research and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
