“Stanley Greenspan’s compelling book reveals the six fundamental levels that form the architecture of our minds. Progress to these levels depends on a series of critical but subtle emotional transactions between an infant and a devoted caregiver. In mapping these interactions, Dr. Greenspan reveals not only the origins of creative and analytic thinking but warns that these mind-building experiences are being eroded in child-rearing and educational practices. He offers specific solutions to restoring them in families, daycare, schools, and in social policy.”
