Book Review

Volume 117• Number 3

Fall 2004



  DOMINIC W. MASSARO, editor
University of California, Santa Cruz "The Child" and Developmental Psychology as Historical Creations   Beyond the Century of the Child: Cultural History and Developmental Psychology
Edited by Willem Koops and Michael Zuckerman. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003. 304 pp. Cloth, $47.50. In recent years, a growing interest in historical views of child development has begun to enliven and confront Aries's (1962) claim that modern conceptions of childhood are an artifact of the times--as were prior conceptions of childhood. Still, we have far to go in expanding psychological understanding of childhood beyond "The Child," conceived of as a natural phenomenon but bearing an uncanny resemblance to the children of middle-class U.S. and European researchers.
