Child and Adolescent Psychology provides an accessible and thorough
introduction to human development by integrating insights from
typical and atypical development. This integration cements
understanding since the same processes are involved. Knowledge
about atypical development informs the understanding of typical
development, and knowledge about typical development is a necessary
basis for understanding atypical development and working with
children with disorders. Based on international research, and
informed by biological, social and cultural perspectives, the book
provides explanations of developmental phenomena, with a focus on
how children and adolescents at different age levels actually
think, feel and act. Following a structure by topic, with
chronological developments within each chapter, von Tetzchner
presents and contrasts the major theoretical ideas in developmental
psychology and discusses their implications for different aspects
of development. He also integrates information about sensory,
physical and cognitive disabilities and the main emotional and
behavioral disorders of childhood and adolescence, and the
developmental consequences of these disabilities and disorders.
Child and Adolescent Psychology is accompanied by online resources
for lecturers and students to enhance the book, including essay
questions for each chapter, Powerpoint slides and multiple-choice
questions. The book and companion website will prove invaluable to
developmental psychology students.
