Book excerpt: Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives provides an engaging and perceptive overview of both well-established and recent theories in child and adolescent psychology. This unique summary of traditional scientific perspectives alongside critical post-modern thinking will provide readers with a sense of the historical development of different schools of thought. The authors also place theories of child development in philosophical and cultural contexts, explore links between them, and consider the implications of theory for practice in the light of the latest thinking and developments in implementation and translational science. Early chapters cover mainstream theories such as those of Piaget, Skinner, Freud, Maccoby and Vygotsky, whilst later chapters present interesting lesser-known theorists such as Sergei Rubinstein, and more recent influential theorists such as Esther Thelen. The book also addresses lifespan perspectives and systems theory, and describes the latest thinking in areas ranging from evolutionary theory and epigenetics, to feminism, the voice of the child and Indigenous theories. The new edition of Child Development has been extensively revised to include considerable recent advances in the field. As with the previous edition, the book has been written with the student in mind, and includes a number of useful pedagogical features including further reading, discussion questions, activities, and websites of interest. Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives will be essential reading for students on advanced courses in developmental psychology, education, social work and social policy, and the lucid style will also make it accessible to readers with little or no background in psychology.

With recurring pedagogical features to ensure students see the interrelatedness of chapters and concepts and the chronological development of children, the authors have also taken care to further their student-friendly presentation by shortening the text in this edition. This has been accomplished without cutting the book’s highly-regarded child psychopathology chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Psychology: Development in the First Four Years The books here offered to the reader enrich child psychology with a series of fresh observations, arranged by a skillful hand according to various aspects of the subject. We are introduced to the whole wealth of the child's soul life; and at the same time we continually perceive the connection with general psychological laws. In addition, the experienced teacher and educator asserts himself; he not only draws his theoretical conclusions from manifestations of the soul in children, but indicates the pedagogic principles which they give occasion to inculcate. Throughout we find expressed a lively conviction that it is of importance to allow the child's soul to develop itself involuntarily, to leave it to find out for itself, so far as is possible, how, in its actions and thoughts, it is to hold its own in face of difficulties and problems. Therefore no over-hasty explanations or instructions! The child must rather encounter an evasive attitude on the part of parents and educators, except when external pressure forces it into a manner of thinking or acting which it cannot correct of itself. Two objects are attained by such an attitude: experience is gained which gives information as to the child's special nature, and the child is practised in self-development. It is what Rousseau calls negative education that here comes by its rights. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piaget's influence on psychology has been profound. His pathbreaking investigations and theories of cognitive development have set child psychology moving in entirely new directions. His bold speculations have provided the inspiration for the work of others. His studies have been the subject of many books and countless articles. And, significantly, his influence has spread to other disciplines and is having an ever-growing impact on the general culture at large.Here Jean Piaget, with the assistance of his long-time collaborator Bärbel Inhelder, offers a definitive presentation of the developmental psychology he has elaborated over the last forty years. This comprehensive synthesis traces each stage of the child's cognitive development, over the entire period of childhood, from infancy to adolescence.
