About this title

Synopsis

Uniquely wide-ranging in its coverage of key concepts, themes and issues relating to human growth and development in adults, this textbook explores the crucial challenges and transitions that adults negotiate in their lives. It examines key topics and issues within professional practice with adults and their families, covering a wide range of practice areas and fusing essential theory and research with practical application.

Drawing on insights and debates from across sociology, psychology, criminology and aligned disciplines, this textbook is thoughtfully structured to provide an accessible and supportive resource. Key features include:

• chapter-by-chapter summaries, case studies and practice examples;

• active learning activities to consolidate knowledge;

• a broad range of tools to develop critical thinking and reflective practice.

With a companion volume that addresses children and young people, this is an essential tool for students and a valuable refresher resource for experienced practitioners.
