Description
Developmental psychology has a long but somewhat neglected history. This volume seeks to address that omission by examining the legacy of the most influential pioneers in our field and the current relevance of their thinking. The recent 100th anniversary of the founding of the APA [American Psychological Association] provided a unique opportunity for developmentalists to take stock of the progress of the field. This book [includes] a historical overview chapter that traces not only thematic changes over the past 100 years but also shifts in theoretical, developmental, and methodological assumptions.
