Synopsis:

This book takes a natural and holistic approach to the study of developmental psychology by examining the processes of continuity and change as they are affected by the individual life-cycle, by the family life cycle, and by changing social and cultural factors. The effects of biological factors, health, and physical development receive considerable attention as well. In connection with these other factors, it is emphasized that the understanding of human development must involve study of minority and Third World children, as well as the children of white middle-class Americans.
