About the Book

Covering human development in 11 stages (from pregnancy and prenatal development through old age to death), Newman and Newman discuss physical, intellectual, emotional and social development, addressing themes of continuity and change at each of the life stages. The text contrasts internal (self-directed) and external influences on growth, change and continuity, and presents the whole person, with extensive consideration given to the family and social environment as important factors in shaping development. Throughout, the authors encourage readers to explore personal questions about development within a framework of scientific knowledge, with particular emphasis on Erik Erikson's model of psychosocial development.
