Customer Reviews

I highly suggest this as an intro

I'm a developmental psychologist teaching at University of Washington in Tacoma. I've used this book as a resource for my students who want to do a directed reading with me. I find that it is a very useful resource to introduce the reader to seminal research in child psychology and it is written at a level that is perfect for someone who isn't very proficient at reading scientfic literature. I highly suggest this book to those who want a good overview of the fundamental theories of child psychology. Though, I have to say that I wish it would have tried to give more credit to the philosophy of behaviorism which is crucial to our understanding of child psychology.
