Description:... A collection of 17 papers from a Growth and Psyche symposium in Zurich (no date noted) tackle the issue from two directions: the effect of psychological conditions on growth; and the effect of shortness on personality and well being. They examine whether short stature is a handicap for otherwise healthy children, short stature and chronic disorder, assessing quality of life, the variation of normal growth patterns and their consequences, and the effects of psychosocial disorders on growth.
