Review :
"The case studies are great--students often complain of learning just theory and not grounding it with clinical practice. Often times, instructors have to bring outside case studies to the classroom to make sense of theoretical models. This book bridges theory to practice enhancing learning and application of field observations. The authors' preparation for the text was obviously extensive . . . well researched . . . current citations. The authors also link traditional development theories to current controversies in child rearing and development. This is great!"
