Product Description

Review
This text provides a very clear overview of human growth and development through the life course. This is an essential area of learning for social work students. --Lecturer, University of Wales, Bangor

A holistic perspective on human development which discusses theoretical concepts and explores human life span in a well-thought out comprehensive way. Excellent for students and well worth reading --Lecturer, University of Lincoln

Very useful, informative book underpinning a module on human development and its relevance to practice. --Lecturer, Merthyr Tydfil College

Product Description
Social workers need to understand people and how they develop to provide context for service users life situations. This book introduces the reader to a range of perspectives on human development. All stages of the life course are considered looking at the way people develop before birth, as babies and children, through adolescence and onto young, middle and older adulthood. This second edition is packed with new, up-to-date case studies which are used throughout to draw out key points and reinforce learning. New research findings are included and government guidance and policy documents have been updated, reflecting current practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading, 27 Jan 2004
This book was on my recommended reading list and I'm pleased I bought it. It can be a bit bewildering starting a social work degree and this book is an invaluable help. It is written in plain English and concentrates on the important issues of the module. I was worried that I wasn't really getting to grips with my course, but reading this gave me confidence.

There are lots of case studies which bring theories into the context of 'real life'. It also has handy research summaries and further reading suggestions should you want to learn more about a particular aspect of the subject.

This is a must-have buy!
