According to many introductory psychology textbooks, Westerners areplacing an increasingly high value on the welfare of their children. Thishumanistic cultural shift has not found its way into developmentalpsychology courses at the college level, leaving a vital gap incurriculum at many universities. Until now.From a fresh, holistic perspective, psychology professor Eugene M.DeRobertis applies humanistic viewpoints in psychology to the studyof child development. Unlike most child development texts thatconcentrate on the subdivisions of the child’s personality, theobservations and discussions here focus on the child as a whole.Drawing upon many schools of thought including Americanhumanism, existential-phenomenology, psychoanalysis, neo-analytictheories, object-relations theory, self-psychology, and Gestaltpsychology, Dr. DeRobertis opens an important dialogue to allteachers and students of psychology.Packed with illustrations, empirical findings, references, and key termsand concepts, Humanizing Child Developmental Theory delivers anoverarching theoretical framework for putting developmental issuesinto context. A significant and accessible contribution to developmentaltheorizing, this groundbreaking text gives psychology instructors andtheir students a relevant and much-needed humanistic approach tochild development.
