Theories of Developmental Psychology PDF

Miller provides a good overview to several developmental perspectives. My class was very centered on comparing the different perspectives' stances on nature/nurture, qualitative/quantitative, what the mechanisms of development were, etc., the end pages of all the chapters, so this book served me well. Someone had highlighted nearly every word in most of the chapters before I got it, so I guess that's another passive vote for the book being useful.
By Danielle R B
The first two chapters are a little dry, but after that, the text becomes a nice read. The text presents ideas and theories, with quotes from the theorists, as well as sighting studies that support and/or refute the theories.
By Michael Smith
