Description



About the Book



"Breaking away from the traditional models that "teach to the test," this dynamic and engaging textbook pays close attention to the historical context of ideas represented in psychosocial development theories and the interconnections of ideas across theories and social science disciplines"--



Book Synopsis



Psychosocial Theories of Human Behavior and Development: An Evolution of Big Ideas is about the major psychosocial theories of human development that were created in the 20th century, drawing from the diverse disciplines of developmental psychology, psychiatry, cognitive science, social psychology, sociology, ethology, and neuroscience. A central focus concerns the components of psychological and social development that motivate and influence human behavior over the lifespan. The evolution of the major ideas over time, their integration, and the ways in which their emergence was shaped by their mutual influences is emphasized throughout. Several integrative themes are used to provide linkages and contexts for the emergence of the theories, particularly the social influences on scientific discoveries, the integrative theoretical framework from the National Research Council, referred to as the transactional-ecological model, and an emphasis on the historical evolution of the sources of knowledge on which the theories were based. A major goal of the book is to teach, in addition to the major concepts of growth and development, the historical scientific and social processes by which these organizations of concepts came into being. This integrative discussion creates important opportunities for more critical analysis and synthesis of ideas.



Review Quotes




"Psychosocial Theories of Human Behavior and Development focuses more specifically on psychosocial development than Green and Piel's 2010 Theories of Human Development, but is equally expansive in the information it provides. This work makes a significant contribution to the field and will prove useful for graduate and advanced undergraduates in multiple human development disciplines. With a concise presentation and analysis of theory, this book provokes thoughtful, critical thinking about our psychosocial processes." --Arlene R. Lundquist, Utica University

"Psychosocial Theories of Human Behavior and Development is an interesting examination of 20th century psychosocial theories of development that discusses the emergence of the theories, as well as their evolution. It provides a great snapshot of how social and historical contexts shape each theory over time. I am very enthusiastic about including historical context in discussions of theories on human behavior in the social environment. I really do think that is lacking in many textbooks I've seen and used. This approach will encourage more critical thinking about the application of these theories to the work we do in social sciences." --Marti L. Reese, Lewis-Clark State College

"Psychosocial Theories of Human Behavior and Development is a dive into specific theories in human behavior in the social environment that have a unique presentation: a mix of quotes, historical information, and connection to current day. It provides insight into the historical foundation of theories and connects to current work." --Rachel M. Young, Mount Vernon Nazarene University

"This book is a good introductory text of theoretical work in the interdisciplinary field of human development. The integration of theories is the most unique and important aspect of the book." --Heidi Kloos, University of Cincinnati

"A worthy contribution." --Choice
