Lifespan Development 4th Edition

3 stars (Okay, but lacking) - Used for a developmental psychology class, this book wasn't worth the $94.00 I paid for it. I could have easily substituted this book for any introductory psychology textbook. Piaget, Kolberg, Erikson, and Freud are hardly touched on and their theories are under-summarized. There is also a lack of relevant, current studies in the area of developmental psychology. Most studies are summarized and do not give any usable, substaintial evidence which could be used elsewhere (ex: in papers). 5 stars (Excellent) - Highly recommended book for studnets in marital and family therapy. Chapters are thouroughly written and context-bound. 5 stars (Excellent text) - I have taught (and taken) courses in Child Development and Lifespan Development with numerous textbooks, and this was definitely my favorite. The text is exceptionally thorough and includes a balance of theory and application. Relevant research is discussed throughout, in a way that is interesting and engaging and emphasizes the importance of scientific rigor in studying development. Most of all I appreciate the personal, direct voice of the text, as if I am listening to the author talk. Some other texts actually make reading about lifespan development boring (hard to do but can be done!) This one very effectively illuminates how fascinating it can be. My only criticism might be that I found it very difficult to cover the entire text in a one semester class, precisely because it is so rich in information. ...

The Developing Person Through the Life Span

2 stars (refund) - I was very disappointed to get an e-mail telling me that the book was out of stock and I would get a refund. My daughter needed it for a class. I ended up having to buy it at her bookstore at full price! OUCH!!!!!! 5 stars ( The Developing Person Through the Life Span ) - Book was exactly as described and delivered on time. 2 stars (Disorganized and Dry...) - I am a student studying psychology, and I have read other psych textbooks. This book is almost impossible for me to read. There's so much going on in the margins of every page that it's distracting and confusing at times. It's chock-full of useless and overly-complicated vocabulary that does little to increase the understanding of the ideas presented, rather it separates the reader from the information because it's overly abstract and dry. I am taking this class online and without an instructor to solidify the concepts covered, I can only hope that enough exposure to this strange and seemingly unorganized text will facilitate my understanding of the material. ...

Development Across the Life Span

5 stars (Concise with current views on life development psychology.) - I used this book in our Life Development Psychology. In the course of my study, everything I needed to know is in the book. Feldman is very thorough and organized. I have read other books on this subject in our library but by far this is a superior book. This book deserves 5 stars. 1 stars (This is not the textbook just a study guide.) - If you are looking for the text book for this course you are looking at the wrong book. All the reviews listed under this book speak glowingly of Feldman's approach to the subject but unless you are careful you will miss that they are talking about the hard cover textbook. This study guide may be helpful but only if you have the full text. Beware what you are buying. 5 stars (The Most Well-Written Textbook I Have Ever Read, 5 STARS!) - This author, Robert S. Feldman, is a genius. He has finally found a way to write an interesting textbook! This textbook has something for every type of learner. There are plenty of colorful illustrations and pictures for the visual learner. He includes many stories to provide examples on the topics discussed in the book, for people who need reference to some real-life examples. Also, the book is easily readable and not boring, for people who tend to fall asleep while reading books. This book covers the processes we all go through from birth to death, so it easily relates to your own life and helps explain some things you probably never understood about yourself. I would recommend it even outside of college... it is just so interesting. There are a total of 19 chapters as listed below: 1. An Introduction to Lifespan Development 2. The Start of Life: Prenatal Development 3. Birth and the Newborn Infant 4. Physical Development in Infancy 5. Cognitive Development in Infancy 6. Social and Personality Development in Infancy 7.

The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner Practice Planners

4 stars (A Starting Point and for Getting Unstuck) - These 'planners' are a great place to start when designing a treatment plan. They are the equivalent of a 'manual' that refreshes memory, assists with language and format- and gets you past the block. Its weaknesses lie in its treatment methods and assessment paradigm. The chapters as they delineate conditions and DSMIV categories were well chosen. Academic disorders received appropriate emphasis within the total clinical perspective. So what's missing? The advances of neuropsychiatry for one. The Ungame and the other published materials are offered in the back for purposes of purchase and review. The methodologies are limited to play therapy and techniques like the "ungame." The precision, as in, what and how such activities will yield is just too vague and rather dated. A nonverbal learning disability, for example, will need a qualitatively different play activity than a child with disorder of written expression, or autistic spectrum. No more one size fits all. The book suffers from a fixation on the psychodynamic approach which we know from research has not effectively met the needs for many disturbed kids. All patients, but more so for children, need successes to undergo change. Brain science has given us more precise tools to assess where those weaknesses lay and therefore a map to gain greater insight into the nature of the condition. Interfamilial discord, then, may be a result of poor communication or an inability to model behaviors- to treat all such dynamics similarly is generally a waste of time. Children have not got the resources to be in such confusing and often haphazard services. The basic product then can be used for limited support and I see that as a solution in writing treatment plans. I think a good updating would do the trick. 5 stars (An excelent source for terapists) - I have found this book of tremendous help as I have worked with children in clinical practice. I higly recommend ...
