Humanizing Child Developmental Theory

From a fresh, holistic perspective, psychology professor Eugene M.
DeRobertis applies humanistic viewpoints in psychology to the study
of child development. Unlike most child development texts that
concentrate on the subdivisions of the child's personality, the
observations and discussions here focus on the child as a whole.
Drawing upon many schools of thought including American
humanism, existential-phenomenology, psychoanalysis, neo-analytic
theories, object-relations theory, self-psychology, and Gestalt
psychology, Dr. DeRobertis opens an important dialogue to all
teachers and students of psychology.

Packed with illustrations, empirical findings, references, and key terms
and concepts, Humanizing Child Developmental Theory delivers an
overarching theoretical framework for putting developmental issues
into context. A significant and accessible contribution to developmental
theorizing, this groundbreaking text gives psychology instructors and
their students a relevant and much-needed humanistic approach to
child development.
