Con l'ingresso nella scuola materna e poi in quella elementare i bambini escono per la prima volta dal mondo protetto e sicuro della famiglia per entrare in quello nuovo e variegato della scuola, che occuperà una parte importante della loro esperienza infantile. L'autore del volume ripercorre tutte le tappe del cammino scolastico, talvolta facile e sereno, ma più spesso impervio e faticoso, dall'asilo alla fine della scuola elementare.

Perché gli adolescenti sono tristi? Da che cosa deriva il loro senso perenne di inadeguatezza nei confronti del mondo che li circonda? Come si articolano, e come si confrontano, esperienze psicopatologiche ed esperienze creative? Quali sono gli orizzonti problematici della psichiatria oggi? Sono inconciliabili tra loro, o sono possibili reciproche influenze? Sappiamo riconoscere il valore umano della malattia? Queste e altre domande articolano una riflessione sulle passioni fragili che appartengono alla nostra vita e alla nostra crescita.

Sandra Winkler, Mutter zweier Töchter, geht der Sache auf den Grund.

A child's concept of race is quite different from that of an adult. Young children perceive skin color as magical - even changeable - and are incapable of understanding adult prejudices. Just as children learn to walk and talk, they likewise come to understand race in a series of predictable stages. Based on Marguerite A.
