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.

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.
