Using themes of continuity and change at each of 11 life stages from conception through death, the Newmans discuss human development covering physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. Psychosocial theory provides a conceptual framework for the text as the authors highlight the continuous interaction of individual competencies with the demands and resources of culture.

Great Book,

This review is from: Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach (Hardcover)
This book is required reading for my current graduate class: Human Growth & Development. It is a great book that provides in-depth info about human development throughout the lifespan. What's especially helpful is that every life stage is neatly broken down into seperate chapters, and every chapter details the impact of biological,psychological, and social factors on growth. This book will definitely help in understanding the process of growth and change in your own life.

This review is from: Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach (Hardcover)
This is one of the most dry and boring textbooks I've had to read. The only textbook more boring than this one, that I can remember, was an anatomy book. I have a strong interest in psychology, so for me to find a psychology book to be boring, it must be pretty bad.

Yeah, well...,
This review is from: Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach (Hardcover)
I teach Psychology and have used this book for many semesters. Heck, I even used this book as a student in grad school when it was 1/10 the size and 1/100th the price. It has become burdensome to students, in addition to cost. It tries to do too much and is ill suited to today's student. I have tried like heck to get us to change the text but the "old guard" won't budge!
