The first developmental textbook written specifically for helping professionals and graduate-level students, The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals, Third Edition, provides an in-depth look at the science of human development and how it applies to the fields of counseling, social work and psychology.

“This book is unique in that it is research-based, includes comprehensive coverage of important course topics, and offers helping professionals information about human development that will enhance service provision to clients across the lifespan.”
--Mary M. Chittooran, Saint Louis University
“The writing style is clear, interesting and engaging and is at a level appropriate for my students. Nicely done. . . . [The] case studies [and] developmental psychopathology sections are strengths. . . . [The book is] well organized, well-written, broad-based . . ., [and] insightful. [I] especially liked the authors’ focus on practical and applied therapies, as well as their emphasis on research-based therapies that incorporate sound principles of human developmental.”
--Rosalie A. Rohm, Ball State University
“This readable, well organized text addresses the depth and scope of development. The text extends students knowledge of the material by providing a wealth of applicable information for those who are or will be in a helping profession. . . . [Compared to other available texts, this one is] far superior in terms of the balance of scope and depth.”
--Kathryn Cooper, Northern Colorado University
“This book makes excellent links to practice for those in the helping fields. . . . A key strength is that the science of human development is conveyed in a tone geared toward helping professionals. Additionally, I like the “Journal Questions” at the end of each chapter. These questions encourage students to make the concepts highly relevant to themselves. . . . I believe the chapters that explicitly cover topics of the “self” are a strength of this book. . . . Another strength is the focus on developmental psychopathology.”
--Bridget A. Walsh, Univesity of Neva, Reno
