This book clearly explains the key components of human development theories and describes how to compose novel theories regarding this age-old puzzle.As college students progress through bachelor's degree programs and then advance to their master's degree theses and doctoral dissertations, they are bombarded with studies of countless theories, often adopting some author's theory for interpreting information about human development, even when the theory does not precisely meet their needs. One way to solve the problema way especially tuned to the current classroom push for creative, critical thinkingis for the student to create his or her own theory. Unfortunately, even students as high as the doctoral level often don't understand how to create a well-ordered, workable theory of their owna crucial gap in their "critical thinking" skillsets.
