The essential reference for human development theory, updated
and reconceptualized
The Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental
Science, a four-volume reference, is the field-defining work to
which all others are compared. First published in 1946, and now in
its Seventh Edition, the Handbook has long been considered
the definitive guide to the field of developmental science.
Volume 1, Theory and Method, presents a rich mix of
classic and contemporary theoretical perspectives, but the dominant
views throughout are marked by an emphasis on the dynamic interplay
of all facets of the developmental system across the life span,
incorporating the range of biological, cognitive, emotional,
social, cultural, and ecological levels of analysis. Examples of
the theoretical approaches discussed in the volume include those
pertinent to human evolution, self regulation, the development of
dynamic skills, and positive youth development. The research,
methodological, and applied implications of the theoretical models
discussed in the volume are presented.
* Understand the contributions of biology, person, and context to
development within the embodied ecological system
* Discover the relations among individual, the social world,
culture, and history that constitute human development
* Examine the methods of dynamic, developmental research
* Learn person-oriented methodological approaches to assessing
developmental change
The scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four
volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is
in the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shift
that involves increasingly greater understanding of how to
describe, explain, and optimize the course of human life for
diverse individuals living within diverse contexts. This
Handbook is the definitive reference for educators,
policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in human
development, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and
neuroscience.
