内容説明

Examines the relationship between physical growth and well being. The questions as to what extent psychological conditions can influence growth, and whether body height has an influence on personality and well being are at the core of the book. The later question is considered in light of now available treatments used to influence body height. The text is suitable for paediatricians, psychologists and other professionals working within the field.
