Description
This new edition of Human Development has been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate recent developments in the field. New material is introduced on the development of a sense of self, the social self and moral development.
The authors guide readers through each crucial stage in human development, from birth and childhood to adolescence, work, parenthood and old age. They reveal the intricate interplay between physical, emotional and psychological factors that contribute to individual patterns of development.
Employing psychoanalytic theories of development, this book provides a rich understanding of everyday phenomena. With its accessible and jargon-free approach, it combines scientific objectivity with sensitivity and sympathy, making it invaluable for anyone involved in the helping professions.
