Medical knowledge grows with the passing of the years. It flows through the generations in a life beyond the life of a man revered teachers contribute to the flow. Students learn and challenge; then they grow to take their elder’s place, questions asked demand new answers that transform the flow. Questioners may be forgotten but answers live on, supporting the health of mankind. Two people forty years apart shared a childhood. The child’s questions opened his world, and created insights for the father. The boy became a pediatrician, the father a child psychiatrist. As they joined the flow, jon enhanced his grasp of developmental childhood psychopathology, and charles became humble in the face of challenges to theory. Their interchanges became this book.
