Because of this abuse, Genie lacked language and social skills, and she thereby became a pawn in the great debate over language acquisition. Rymer here presents a fascinating look at a child&#039;s abuse and the failure of the scientific community to help her achieve some normalcy. Describing her history and the various tests and studies performed on her, he show how Genie ended up as just another case study. Unfortunately, scientists considered Genie a unique opportunity to study language skills and acquisition rather than a bewildered child who desperately needed help. </style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russ Rymer22 cm</style></notes><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1993</style></label></record></records></xml>
