Book Description
"Each person is uniquely shaped throughout their life by many significant dimensions. Understanding Human Development introduces you to new ways of understanding these many dimensions and how they interact to influence human adaptation and coping across the lifespan. Now in its third edition, this text provides you with the core theoretical understandings of human development and behaviour. Each chapter introduces you to the ideas and research that will likely inform key debates, controversies and implications for practice. It aims to foster your thinking and interest in a broad range of issues that have the potential to profoundly influence human behaviour and development"--Back cover.
