Hide-Course Description:
This course will appeal to anybody interested in childhood as well as those with an interest in psychology, psychotherapy, social studies and childcare.

Drawing on the work of psychological and psychoanalytic theorists, the course will focus primarily on how children deal with their immediate environments and will explore how significant relationships come to shape a child’s emotional life and emerging personality.
