  Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology: Gesell, Arnold (1880-1961)
Arnold Gesell was born in Alma, Wisconsin, and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin.
Gesell's early work involved the study of mental retardation in children, but he soon became convinced that an understanding of normal development is necessary for the understanding of abnormal development.
Gesell was among the first to implement a quantitative study of human development from birth through adolescence, focusing his research on the extensive study of a small number of children.

 Presentations
Gesell anticipated modern interdisciplinary emphasis by defining development as a unitary collection of information from various disciplines while still retaining a holistic view of development.
Gesell's description of the invariant sequences of development, the growth principles, and the variability of rates of development are milestones in the history of developmental psychology.
Gesell is the first scientist considered and thus he published data in addition to theorizing.

 Adoption History: Arnold Gesell (1880-1961)
Gesell’s ambitious goal was to establish universal developmental norms beginning at birth.
The applied technology that Gesell’s research produced was a scale–a test–that promised to measure whether children were developing normally or deviating from expected patterns of mental, motor, linguistic, and social growth.
Gesell believed that adoption was risky and even inappropriate for some children, but he also believed that the risks could be measured and predicted in advance.

Kamala of Midnapore and Arnold Gesell's Wolf Child and Human Child: Reconciling the Extraordinary and the Normal
Two aspects of the case are analyzed in detail: the controversy regarding the authenticity of the reports and the meaning of the evidence, and Arnold Gesell's (1941) "psychological biography" of Kamala, Wolf Child and Human Child.
Gesell's "obsession" with Kamala is connected to his conception of development: He advanced an alternative interpretation in maturational terms to counter the prevalent environmentalist interpretation of the wolf girl, and he integrated her radical difference into his theory to prove its claim to be a truly universal account of childhood and growth.

This paper examines eugenic ideas in the context of Gesell's maturational model of development.
Keeping to an historical perspective which highlights developments within the eugenics movement, the author concurs that Gesell's early work reveals sympathies with eugenic ideas.
However, as challenges to the eugenics movement mounted during the 1920s and 30s, Gesell eventually deemphasized eugenic ideas in his later work.
