Items related to Human Development: a Life-Span Approach
From the Publisher
This leading text combines unusually comprehensive, research-based coverage with a flexible organization that works for either chronological or topical course formats. Unlike most other texts, it provides nearly equal coverage of each of the three main stages of development: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. For each stage, the text then examines physical, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of development. The separate treatment of emotional development in each section is one of the book's unique strengths. This latest edition features new material in many key areas, including family structure, women's issues, multi-cultural comparisons, the handicapped, and the problems faced by today's adolescents. All topics are highlighted with boxed material and supported with a large number of current research references. As in the previous edition, the author's streamlined writing style and extensive counselling experience help clarify and personalize the discussions.
