Everything you always wanted to know about theories, meta-theories,
methods, and interventions but didn't realize you needed to ask.
This innovative textbook takes advanced undergraduate and graduate
students "behind the curtain" of standard developmental science, so
they can begin to appreciate the generative value and
methodological challenges of a lifespan developmental systems
perspective. It envisions applied developmental science as focused
on ways to use knowledge about human development to help solve
societal problems in real-life contexts, and considers applied
developmental research to be purpose driven, field based, community
engaged, and oriented toward efforts to optimize development. Based
on the authors' more than 25 years of teaching, this text is
designed to help researchers and their students intentionally
create a cooperative learning community, full of arguments, doubts,
and insights, that can facilitate their own internal paradigm
shifts, one student at a time. With the aid of extensive online
supplementary materials, students of developmental psychology as
well as students in other psychological subdisciplines (such as
industrial-organizational, social, and community psychology) and
applied professions that rely on developmental training (such as
education, social work, counseling, nursing, health care, and
business) will find this to be an invaluable guidebook and toolbox
for conceptualizing and studying applied problems from a lifespan
developmental systems perspective.
