Riassunto

Theories of Development introduces students to the most influential theorists who have contributed to our understanding of how we develop as individuals. The book focuses on the theorists who have built upon the developmental tradition established by Rousseau, along with other theorists, including ethologists and psychoanalysts, who share a developmental outlook. It also considers theorists in the environmental/learning theory tradition and discusses the practical implications of all theorists’ work.

This edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, and now includes:
• A new chapter comparing treatment approaches to autism
• Greater attention to Erikson’s theory of identity formation and how it pertains to gender issues
• New thoughts on cultural factors in Piaget’s theory
• Biographical material on Jane Goodall, Howard Thurman, and Albert Einstein that illustrate developmental processes

Demonstrating how we might view the world differently at various stages of life, Theories of Development is a must-read for all students of psychology and education.
