Introduction |
|---|
The Editor has offered me an opportunity to write a personal account of my three-decade fascination with pediatric psychology. Although I have written about many topics during my professional career, this is the first time I remember being asked to write about myself, and I find it a bit daunting. I must admit that, after receiving this generous invitation, my first instinct was to reject the offer because of a reluctance to focus so much energy on myself and my expectation that no one else would want to read it anyhow. I moved beyond that initial instinct, however, after considering that there are very few historical accounts of pediatric psychology and one way to improve the situation is to have people like me write about their careers. So here goes.
