Tackling some of the most important ideas in child psychology and human development, Human Resilience presents key theories from Ann and Alan Clarke's pioneering work in this field. The Clarkes discuss major interacting influences on development, including genetic and environmental effects, chance events and the tendency for people to influence their environments in ways that reinforce their personal characteristics. In particular, they address various issues surrounding IQ inheritance and outline factors affecting the success of several intervention programmes, including fostering and adoption.The emerging importance of resilience as a fundamental human characteristic makes this book of great significance to psychologists, social workers and students. Anyone working with disadvantaged children and those with learning disabilities will be interested in Human Resilience's practical implications: how resilience can be improved both by personal characteristics such as self-esteem, problem-solving ability or sociability, interacting with external support.

Few can match the contribution these scientists have made to the field of intellectual disability and to the broader field of the psychology of human development… Human Resilience contains a selection of 18 articles and chapters previously published jointly or individually by the authors over a period spanning the years 1953-2000. These published papers have been complemented by three new chapters and introductory commentaries… This book is an inspiration to those that follow in the footsteps of these two intellectual giants. They have, as Barbara Tizard reports, made the world a better place, especially for people with intellectual disabilities'.
