An Introduction To Theories Of Human Development by educator and psychologist Neil J. Salkind is a comprehensive overview of the changes that occur in behavior during the long transition from infancy to adulthood. A wide variety of approaches seeking to clarify and better understand different scientific perspectives are discussed, including the maturational/biological approach, the psychodynamic approach, the behavioral perspective, and the cognitive-developmental view. A comparative analysis places the insights of each branch of psychology in perspective, in this intelligently written yet highly accessible educational text, as fascinating for lay readers as it is useful to beginning psychology students.
