It's refreshing to see a lifespan text written by helping professionals for helping professionals. This is the exact textbook I have been searching for since I began teaching this course 15 years ago. I know my students will gain a lot of insight from the case studies and podcasts. This is an essential text for my class and I am grateful for all the supplemental instructional resources.Jennifer R. Curry, PhD, NCCShirley B.

Going beyond mere memorization, the book illuminates the contextual and cultural dimensions of human development by underscoring current and relevant research; considering the racial, social, and economic factors that impact human development; offering the perspectives of a broad spectrum of esteemed helping professionals; and incorporating case studies, podcasts, vivid graphics, and interactive activities.Highlighting the ways in which developmental theories are applicable to contemporary life, the text uses case studies to demonstrate how clinicians can use their knowledge of development to support client growth, the expertise of multidisciplinary health professionals to highlight different developmental theories and approaches, and analyzes foundational theories against a backdrop of current research that factors in contextual and cultural dimensions. These include a focus on racial and social inequality, social media, children with special needs, persons with disabilities, poverty, and development in time of pandemic.
