Short description
The first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of developmental psychology, this volume examines the evolution of the field from the pre-scientific era to the present day. The chapters are organized chronologically and trace the development of international research from the first research published in Germany, America, and France during the late 19th century to the major advances that followed the Second World War. Particular attention is paid to research on development in adulthood and old age and the relationship between the growth of developmental psychology and child rearing practice.
