Synopsis
This best-selling textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to 11 major human development theories that continue to guide research, intervention, and practice. Each theory is explored through cultural and historical contexts, key concepts, research applications, and contemporary implications for practice, and is supported by engaging case vignettes, as well as an analysis of how it answers four key questions that should be addressed by a theory of development.
The theories are grouped into three families: those that emphasize biological systems, those that focus on environmental factors, and those that reflect the interaction between the two, allowing readers to systematically evaluate and compare theoretical perspectives both within and across families.
Key features of the fourth edition include:
- A new focus on the implications of theory for practice, highlighting primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions, spanning different developmental periods and professional domains to demonstrate real-world relevance
- Pedagogical features and case material throughout to foster active learning and critical thinking
- Expanded coverage of how individual differences emerge through interactions among biological, environmental, and social factors, as well as through agency and life decisions, thereby promoting understanding of diverse developmental pathways
- An exploration of the implications of each theory for structural factors that may advantage or disadvantage individuals within different groups of people
- A full suite of updated instructor resources, including discussion questions, classroom activities, and further readings
This comprehensive book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, human development, family studies, education, social work, and public health.
