Based on research and made personal through anecdotes and real-life examples, this introduction to human development offers a combination of topical/chronological approach, an eclectic theoretical perspective, and a focus on contemporary issues and concerns. There are three major age divisions in this book - childhood, adolescence and adulthood - and each one discusses perspectives, physical development, cognitive development, emotional development, and social development. This particular edition provides revised coverage of the following topics: postpartum health issues; the neonate; health and children; cognitive development; emotional development; social development; health and adolescents; cognition during adolescence; adolescent emotions; transition to young adulthood; adult health; adult sexuality; cognition; and theories of suicide. There are also a number of supplements to this title, including a "Study Guide with Cases" (0-13-888314-9).
