Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides a synthesis of research on a topic of increasing importance in developmental and social psychology - a general theory of child development that takes into account the culturally guided nature of child-environment relationships. The author presents an integration of theory with psychological phenomenology of child development backed by evidence from language research literature in psychology and anthropology as well as from his own research, which offers an appropriate basis for understanding child development in many cultural contexts. Because of the book's structural-dynamic perspective on child development it will be of value to both researchers and practitioners together with postgraduate students in developmental and child psychology, education and anthropology.
