Description
Organized topically to realistically present the three overarching perspectives that guide today's researchers and practitioners of developmental psychology, David Bjorklund and Carlos Hern ndez Blasi's CHILD AND ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT: AN IINTEGRATED APPROACH shows how the major perspectives on human development must be integrated rather than presented as contrasting and sometimes contradictory ways of looking at development in order to meaningfully understand infants, children, and adolescents as well as how they develop.
