Paperback. Condition: Fair. In the first part of this book, Lucien Malson summarizes all the known genuine cases of wolf children and relates his findings to current research in anthropology, psychology and the psychology of learning. His account powerfully reinforces environmentalist emphasis on the social conditions necessary for the development of even the most basic apparently biological characteristics, such as the ability to distinguish and make sounds, let alone the ability to express emotion and to communicate. Malson's study is followed by Jean Itard's classic account-since made into a film by Francois Truffant-of his attempts to educate Victor, a wolf child found in the forests of Central France at the end of the eighteenth century. Itard's description of his patient and often ingenious attempts to socialize and to teach Victor make his reports, in the words of Maria Montessori, 'virtually the first attempt at experimental psychology'. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Paperback. Condition: New. "The idea that man has no nature," Malson begins, "is now beyond dispute. He has or rather is a history." In these provocative words, which form the theme of this essay, Malson carries one step further the assumption of behaviorists, structural functionalists, cultural anthropologists, and evolutionists that "human nature" is a constant. If the content of the analysis made by anthropologists is not affected by a "human nature" that lies outside of history, humanity to all effects and purposes becomes its history. So-called wolf children are children abandoned at an early age and found leading an isolated existence. They are thus natural examples of complete social deprivation and Malson explores their history in this complete study. His essay is followed by Itard's account of Victor, a wolf child found in the forests of central France at the end of the eighteenth century. Itard's two reports have become a classic of psychological and educational literature, and are presented here as the most important first-hand account of a wolf child.
