About this title

From the Publisher:

The book provides a parallel structure within the chapters that gives students a framework for comparing theoretical approaches. Each major theory is discussed in terms of general orientation, mechanisms of development, and its strengths and weaknesses.

Four central issues of development are addressed in each chapter: Human Nature, Qualitative vs. Quantitative Development, Nature vs. nurture, and What Develops.

Miller offers perspectives on children's behavior for those who interact with children in any capacity.
