  • Book Description

    This book presents state-of-the-art chapters written by leading scholars and policy analysts on topics of broad interest: child care, welfare reform, education, learning environments, child health, and cross-cultural studies. The book's unique emphasis is on connections between research, history, and policy. Most psychology books focus on only one of these components. Viewing developmental psychology in its historical context, we see that research and policies involving children are intimately intertwined.

  • Product Description

    What is the unique mission of developmental psychology? How has it evolved historically? What are its current challenges? The chapters in this collection present the view that research, history and policy are essential and interlocking components of a mature developmental psychology. In sharp contrast with the view that science is value-neutral, developmental psychologists have from the outset pursued the betterment of children and families through educational, childcare and health initiatives.
