Lifespan Development: Biopsychosocial Perspectives provides
students with complete explorations of each developmental stage of
the lifespan, beginning with conception and concluding with an
examination of successful aging. The book presents human
development theory and research within a biopsychosocial framework,
presenting information regarding biological, psychological, and
social functioning during each significant period of the lifespan.
The first chapter of the text presents readers with an introduction
to human development, addressing the meaning of age and aging, the
four key principles of human development, the social factors that
influence the study of human development, and more. The succeeding
chapters progress in step with the human lifespan, beginning with
conception and prenatal development, moving through infancy,
childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and concluding with chapters
devoted to later life. The biopsychosocial perspective of the text
emphasizes the transactional nature of biological, psychological,
and social influences on the developing individual with a focus on
positive development and the implications on health and wellness.
It emphasizes the applied nature of the biopsychosocial
perspective. Each chapter begins with a real-life scenario,
challenging students to take the perspectives of individuals and
practitioners dealing with issues at every stage of development.
Designed to provide readers with a holistic understanding of the
complex progression of human life and aging, Lifespan Development
is an ideal text for courses in psychology and human development.
