The consistency of children's interactions has an impact on their subsequent social growth. It can be shown that children who avoid contact with their peers also exist; children who barely socialize with their friends, choose to be lonely, are reserved, and lack self-confidence. Meanwhile, children can develop the ability to facilitate and sustain social connections, as well as dispute resolution skills such as taking turns playing, negotiating, and even negotiation, by their partnerships with their peers. When engaging in these types of tasks, children often undergo a pattern of synchronization between their comprehension, execution, and desired outcome. Children may create bonds through this experience, and can offer a sense of comfort away from family members.

A review of the literature on suicide with particular emphasis on its research aspects has been completed. Demographic studies have given some information about the circumstances surrounding suicide, but have been criticized for their incomplete data, the validity of their statistics, and their failure to explain individual suicide. Psychodynamic studies have relied heavily on the dynamics of depression to explain suicide and generally have failed to explain suicidal behaviour in other dynamic constellations. Clinical studies searching for reliable indicators of suicide have encountered many methodological problems making conclusions uncertain, thus limiting practical application of the findings. An important neglected area of study is felt to be the phenomenology and developmental psychology of suicidal ideation. Some of the sparse literature in this area is reviewed and its significance in terms of object relations theory is discussed. The hypothesis that the suicidal impulse is a variant of normal psychological development with important determinants in early childhood is proposed. This proposal is discussed in terms of its implications for future research.

The Hebraic idea of “truth,” as an interpersonal concept denoting dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness, is discussed as an essential aspect of both psychological development and biblically genuine fellowship with God. Interpersonal “truth” is given a critical role in the ontogenetic process of reality testing, wherein the stability and consistency of interpersonal behaviors and their meanings during early childhood profoundly influence the subsequent functional integrity of menial processes and social adjustment. Reality testing is discussed as analogous to the process through which one can construe and relate to God.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.
