This is a revised and updated edition of Tony Wright's critically acclaimed work that first appeared a decade ago. It provides a lucid and accesible survey of the major strands of socialist thinking right up to the present day and includes an assessment of the renewal of socialism in Britain. It is an indispensable text for students and a stimulating guide to socialism past and present. But it is also a book with an argument. Tony Wright makes the case for a socialism that learns the lessons of its own history, roots itself in an ethic of community and applies traditional values in new ways. It is a book for everyone who wants to understand where socialism has come from - and where it might still be going.

Review :
"I see this book as an excellent resource for general and child psychiatrists, developmental pediatricians and neurologists as well as for educators, speech and language pathologists, occupational and/or recreational therapists, and psychologists. I highly recommend this book."
—Missouri Psychiatry
"...the work as a whole is quite worthwhile and has much to recommend....One comes away from the book with a sense of optimism about improving diagnosis....The present volume is a good choice as a supplemental text for courses in child diagnostics for psychologists and perhaps even psychiatrists. It has much to offer the graduate student in the area and could serve as the basis for seminar debates on diagnosis and classification. The more I reread this book, the more I like it!"
—Contemporary Psychology
"...This volume represents a definitive advance in establishing what is significant in our present taxonomy.
—Missouri Psychiatry
"These volumes emphasize critical evaluation and health skepticism. They offer a wealth of valuable information for social workers practicing with children or adolescents in any setting. These texts should be in the libraries of agencies serving children and adolescents, as well as required reading in courses on child development and social work practice with children and adolescents."
