A leader among these is the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD), established in 1933 to promote interdisciplinary research, dissemina­ tion of information, and applications of research findings. The society's inaugural member­ ship of 425 grew rapidly. Today, approximately 5,500 researchers, applied professionals, and students from more than 50 countries are members. CHAPTER 1 History, Theory, and Applied Directions As child development attracted increasing interest, a variety of theories emerged, each of which continues to have followers today. In these theories, the European concern with the child's inner thoughts and feelings contrasts sharply with the North American academic focus on scientific precision and concrete, observable behavior. The Psychoanalytic Perspective By the 1930s and 1940s, parents were increasingly seeking professional help in dealing with children's emotional difficulties. The earlier normative movement had answered the ques­ tion, What are children like? Now another question had to be addressed: How and why do children become the way they are? To treat psychological problems, psychiatrists and social workers turned to an emerging approach to personality development that emphasized the unique history of each child. According to the psychoanalytic perspective, children move through a series of stages in which they confront conflicts between biological drives and social expectations.
