Book Description
This second edition of Child Psychology: A Handbook of Contemporary Issues reflects the increasingly sophisticated and varied research methods used to examine the highly complex interactions contributing to children's cognitive, emotional, and social development.
Those chapters that appeared in the previous edition have been thoroughly updated and new chapters by outstanding researchers have been introduced. In addition, there is an entirely new section on Adolescence and thorough coverage of salient Ecological Influences, which make this second edition a truly comprehensive resource on the important issues in child psychology.
The volume is divided into five sections - Infancy, Preschool Years, Childhood, Adolescence, and Ecological Influences - which:
"What a delight! Child Psychology 2nd edition, preserves the four cornerstone themes of its first edition (exploring the nature of change, illustrating the interconnectedness of people and environments, identifying processes affecting life-course transitions, and emphasizing the need for diverse methodological approaches), while simultaneously expanding the range of contemporary issues addressed. Seasoned developmental scientists and their students will be provoked and challenged by the issues raised throughout the volume, and will gain a deeper appreciation for the causal, yet dynamic, processes that regulate human behavior over the life course." -- Hiram E. Fitzgerald, PhD, Michigan State University
"Expanded coverage of childhood's ecological settings, including families, schools, neighborhoods, and the larger culture, makes this Handbook appealing to professionals interested in contextual influences on development. Increased attention to these factors is integrated into each individual chapter, and also highlighted in a final section devoted to these themes. The range of topics covered, in combination with its theoretical focus and its heightened treatment of larger contextual influences, make this Handbook a valuable resource." -- Robin L. Harwood, Ph.D., Texas Tech University

The volume is divided into five sections - Infancy, Preschool Years, Childhood, Adolescence, and Ecological Influences - which:
- Describe the nature of development and individual variations in developmental trajectories across multiple domains
- Identify the processes and mechanisms underlying developmental and contextual change
- Explore the varied contexts in which development unfolds, including family, school, neighborhood, and culture
- Apply cutting-edge research designs, methodologies, and analytic approaches to models of development
- The volume provides an invaluable and practical resource for students and instructors on a wide variety of courses, and for researchers and professionals working in the field of child development.
