About this title

Synopsis

Kathleen Berger's signature narrative voice, wide-ranging cultural perspective, and focus on universal themes captivates students from the outset. Including exceptionally fast moving areas such as brain development and psychopathology (incorporating DSM-5 updates) this edition remains relevant. This engaging title helps students to grasp the important theoretical and scientific work driving the field of developmental psychology today.  This title concentrates on revealing the connections between the study of development across all stages of life and the lives that students actually live.
