| Summary |
Organized topically to realistically present the three overarching perspectives that guide today's researchers and practitioners of developmental psychology, David Bjorklund and Carlos Hernández Blasi's Child and Adolescent Development an integrated 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.
