Description
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.
