Synopsis

This outstanding new textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to developmental psychology that is engaging, yet detailed and thorough. Covering all the major topics in child development, the book offers a grounding in the principles which govern research and theory in contemporary child development, and surveys those theories and research methods which are essential to developing a firm knowledge of the field.

Some key features include:

· Coverage of the child′s ′theory of mind′ under the rubric of social development;

· an introduction to ′emotion regulation′ in the chapter on emotional development;

· Coverage of some key theories such as ′dynamic systems theory′ and ′evolutionary psychology′
