Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives provides an
engaging and perceptive overview of both well-established and
recent theories in child and adolescent psychology. This unique
summary of traditional scientific perspectives alongside critical
post-modern thinking will provide readers with a sense of the
historical development of different schools of thought. The authors
also place theories of child development in philosophical and
cultural contexts, explore links between them, and consider the
implications of theory for practice in the light of the latest
thinking and developments in implementation and translational
science. Early chapters cover mainstream theories such as those of
Piaget, Skinner, Freud, Maccoby and Vygotsky, whilst later chapters
present interesting lesser-known theorists such as Sergei
Rubinstein, and more recent influential theorists such as Esther
Thelen. The book also addresses lifespan perspectives and systems
theory, and describes the latest thinking in areas ranging from
evolutionary theory and epigenetics, to feminism, the voice of the
child and Indigenous theories. The new edition of Child Development
has been extensively revised to include considerable recent
advances in the field. As with the previous edition, the book has
been written with the student in mind, and includes a number of
useful pedagogical features including further reading, discussion
questions, activities, and websites of interest. Child Development:
Theories and Critical Perspectives will be essential reading for
students on advanced courses in developmental psychology,
education, social work and social policy, and the lucid style will
also make it accessible to readers with little or no background in
psychology.
