008 - Temperament - Part 1 - Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess
Description
While it may seem quaint today, the radical contribution that Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess made to child development was to look at children as unique individuals with very different innate approaches to the world that were present at birth. While processes like attachment and their psychosocial context help to determine a child’s outcome, what Thomas and Chess emphasized was a child’s temperament, their own style of thinking and of interacting with the world.
