Turning points, Adversity, Recovery, Child DevelopmentAbstract
The aim of this article was to analyse the potential for developmental recovery based on a review of different studies on the development of children who, despite early adverse experiences, had experienced a turning point in their lives due to various kinds of events. The implications of the research and findings are discussed in relation to understanding the recovery of child development and the possibilities for interventions with children exposed to risk or adversity.
