Six Theories of Child Development (Paperback)

Paperback. Organized around six principal theories of contemporary child development, the essays in this book examine the state of the discipline and its future directions from the perspective of one theoretical model. The volume is both an update on the current status of these theoretical models, and an examination of the issues and questions that will influence child research in the coming years. It is intended as a reference for students, researchers and practitioners in all areas of child development and health (mental and physical), including paediatricians and psychologists. The respective authors are some of the leading developmental scholars of this time, and are also major proponents of the theoretical traditions they address. An excellent text for senior undergraduates and graduate students and a worthwhile addition to the library shelf of any serious student of developmental psychology.
