Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is the first text to introduce human development and family studies (HDFS) as inextricably linked areas of study, giving students a complex yet realistic view of individuals and families. Pioneers of research paradigms have acknowledged that the family is one setting in which human development occurs. Moreover, in many academic programs, the lines of these two disciplines blur and much work is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. This book helps to fortify an understanding of HDFS and subareas within it.
Vignettes from current HDFS students as well as new professionals, an overview of the lifespan stage(s) within the family context, a wide description of research methods and applications, current policy issues relevant to the area, and discussions of practice/careers coupled with strategies for pursuing specializations or careers in the area are hallmarks of this textbook. Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is essential reading for students new to the major and minor wanting to know:
Incredibly user-friendly both on the page and online, the text also features the following resources:

'Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is simply the best book of its kind on the market. The comprehensive yet concise treatment of topics and content provides students with enough information and additional resources to be well informed without being overwhelmed. This text builds a professional foundation that will benefit students in the classroom and beyond. Highly recommended.' - Anthony B. Walker, Indiana State University
'This book makes an important contribution to the field by blending Human Development and Family Science. It is common for academic departments to be organized in this way and for undergraduate students to take classes that span the breadth of these two dimensions of understanding human functioning. Yet, most existing textbooks tend to focus more exclusively on either human development or family science. Helping students consider both lenses simultaneously is unique and beneficial.' - Marjorie Kostelnik, University of Nebraska
