I bought this book 4 years ago, and have found it very useful. I research various different issues to do with children psychology and development, and this book has been so much help with a number of issues. It covers a wide range of issues and topics. It is very informative and detailed, is very easy to use, and clearly laid out. It is also not written with lots of jargon, but easily read. It has definitely helped me with my studies!

the developing child 1 Nov 2009

By T. Morris

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this item because it is the core text required for the foundation degree course i'm taking. It is very informative, set out well in lots of easy to follow chapters and is easy to use, which when reading lots of other sources of information at the same time is what you really want.

An ethological approach to personality development 12 Jan 2001

By sanela.fekovic@durham.ac.uk

Format:Hardcover

This book considers one of contemporary controversial issues in child psychology: is the child made invulnerable by an early secure attachment or doomed to psychopathology by an insecure attachment? Setting the scene from John Bowlby's (1969) attachment theory it gives excellent background about the level of security of the infants' attachment as related to his or her behavior; however, it sheds but a few beams on contemporary child psychology with long-term consequences and/or prospects. Although researchers have studied attachment deficit for many years, its existence, prevalence, and significance remain largely unknown to the general public as well as to most therapists. Despite its prevalence, none of today's psychological therapies recognize, let alone treat, this syndrome, and adults with attachment deficit are often misdiagnosed as having a "personality disorder" or are sent for marriage counseling; consequently, their prospects for recovery are unlikely. Perhaps H. Bee could expand on post infant development in her next edition as the two are definetely related and should be seen as mutually dependant aspects of human development as a whole. Good reference for child psychology research alone.
