Developmental Psychology and You cover

Developmental Psychology and Youis a lively and accessible introduction to the psychology of human development. The authors, who all have extensive experience in teaching and research, have selected topics that will appeal to new students of this subject and have presented them in a way that demonstrates their relevance to everyday life.

The fully revised second edition includes a new chapter on gender development and gender differences, while the material on adult life and growing older has been expanded. Key concepts are highlighted throughout, and each chapter contains objectives, exercises, self-assessment questions and recommendations for further reading.

"This book provides an excellent introduction to developmental psychology. There is coverage from infancy to old age. The style is engaging with prominence given to practical and applied topics."
—David Messer, South Bank University

"Given the extensive nature of the chosen topic - no less than the whole of developmental psychology - it is a testament to keen selective eyes and authorial skills that many of the essential features of the subject are conveyed in a readable and easily accessible style ... it succeeded in one of its chief aims, 'to whet the reader's appetite' for the discipline, sharpening as it did my own critical inclinations!"
—Tom Billington, University of Sheffield, British Journal of Educational Psychology, December 2003
