Description

A multidimensional approach to understanding the complexities of human behaviour and development across the lifespan

Each person is uniquely shaped throughout their life by many significant dimensions. Understanding Human Development introduces students to new means of understanding these many dimensions and how they interact to influence human adaptation and coping across the lifespan.

Now in its 3rd edition, this text is significantly revised to provide students with the cadre theoretical understandings of human development and behaviour. Each chapter introduces students to the ideas and enquiry that will likely inform key debates, controversies and implications for practice. Information technology aims to foster students thinking and their involvement in a broad range of issues that accept the potential to profoundly influence homo behaviour and development.
