Synopsis

Newman and Newman take a chronological approach to the study of the life span, drawing on the psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson to provide a conceptual framework for the text. Newman and Newman address physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth in all life stages, focusing on the idea that development results from the interdependence of these areas at every stage, and placing special emphasis on optimal development through life.

Review

"Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach is the best text I have ever used for a human development, lifespan development course. It is scholarly, yet pragmatic; it is comprehensive yet concise; it captures the students' interest in the beginning and they stick with it. I don't have to look out and observe a sea of blank faces because they haven't read the material--they read the material. Students say they keep it and use it as a parenting handbook."
