Angela Kreutz

Children and the Environment in an Australian Indigenous Community

A psychological approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book Angela Kreutz considers the relationship between environment, and attachment and development in children. Focusing on indigenous children who are suggested to have greater freedom, and therefore wander further than non-indigenous children, the research examines theoretical constructs and conceptual models from environmental and ecological psychology by empirically road testing these ideas within a distinct cultural community.
