From the publisher
From the rear cover
Understanding Children's Development remains the market leading developmental psychology book in the UK and has been widely acclaimed for its international coverage and rigorous research-based approach over its 25 year history. This dynamic text emphasizes the practical and applied implications of developmental research. It begins by introducing the ways in which psychologists study developmental processes, before going on to consider all major aspects of development from conception through to adolescence.
Building on these core strengths, this new sixth edition has been completely revised and updated to include increased coverage on ethics, particularly the issues associated with children's rights. Developing research areas including the use of technology, children and media, and cultural differences, particularly in the developing world, are also incorporated into this forward thinking text.
Each chapter provides eloquent discussion of the material, enlivened by the inclusion of relevant case studies, real-world examples, 'Stop and Think' boxes and ideas for classroom debate.
