The Conceptual Project in Child Variance

This report covers highlights from a survey of the literature on emotional disturbance. The survey was begun in 1970 by the Conceptual Project in Child Variance at the University of Michigan. The Project has developed the survey to serve both as a model for graduate student training and as a source of materials for graduate level programs across the United States. Results are being published in a four-volume work , A Study of Child Variance, which examines theories, intervention practices, and service delivery systems, and presents an overview with a look toward the future. The activities of the graduate students and of professional workshop groups are described, and a summary of Project materials is also reported .Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44582/1/10802_2004_Article_BF00919358.pd
