The Effects of Infant Day Care Through the Prism of Attachment Theory: A Critical Appraisal.

Thompson, Ross A.

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v3 n3 p273-82 Sep 1988

Addresses the relevance of attachment theory and research to an understanding of the effects of early day care on sociopersonality development.
