THREE SEDUCTIVE IDEAS
Jerome Kagan
Harvard University Press, 2000

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this book, the reader will be familiar with current evidence on infant determinism, the pleasure principle, and the stability of traits.

Do the first two years of life determine a child's development? Are human beings, like other primates, motivated purely by pleasure? Are traits such as intelligence, fear, anxiety, and temperament really stable? In this book, Jerome Kagan challenges these dearly held assumptions of developmental psychology and finds them incorrect.

Jerome Kagan, Ph.D., is the Daniel and Amy Starch Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and the author of many books, including GALEN'S PROPHECY.
