Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives de Rosalyn H. Shute

Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives: International Texts in Developmental Psychology

Autor Rosalyn H. Shute, Phillip T. Slee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mai 2015

Recomandăm Child Development ca o resursă fundamentală pentru studenții de la nivel de licență avansată și masterat, oferind o sinteză rară între rigoarea științifică clasică și perspectivele critice contemporane. Această a treia ediție, publicată sub egida Routledge, reușește să depășească simpla prezentare a etapelor de creștere, propunând o analiză profundă a modului în care cultura, filosofia și mediul digital modelează psihicul tânăr. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit capitolul nou introdus, dedicat universului digital, care abordează teme stringente precum inteligența artificială și impactul rețelelor sociale asupra dezvoltării adolescenților.

Din punct de vedere structural, volumul este organizat progresiv: începe cu bazele biologice și behaviorismul, trece prin constructivismul lui Piaget și moștenirea freudiană, pentru a culmina cu teorii sistemice și abordări feministe. Considerăm că această lucrare completează perspectiva oferită de Theories of Developmental Psychology de Patricia H Miller, adăugând o dimensiune critică (postmodernă) și o discuție necesară despre decolonizarea cunoașterii, elemente pe care manualele tradiționale tind să le omită. Față de Understanding Child Development de Sara Meadows, care adoptă o abordare tematică interdisciplinară, volumul de față se concentrează pe evoluția ideilor teoretice și pe aplicabilitatea lor practică.

În contextul operei autorilor, Child Development reprezintă fundamentul teoretic pentru cercetările lor aplicate, precum cele din School Bullying and Marginalisation. Dacă lucrările lor anterioare se concentrau pe patologii specifice sau probleme de bunăstare, acest manual oferă cadrul conceptual care explică mecanismele de dezvoltare ce stau la baza acestor fenomene sociale.

Descriere scurtă

Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives provides an engaging and perceptive overview of both well-established and recent theories in child and adolescent psychology. This unique summary of traditional scientific perspectives alongside critical post-modern thinking will provide readers with a sense of the historical development of different schools of thought. The authors also place theories of child development in philosophical and cultural contexts, explore links between them, and consider the implications of theory for practice in the light of the latest thinking and developments in implementation and translational science.
Early chapters cover mainstream theories such as those of Piaget, Skinner, Freud, Maccoby and Vygotsky, whilst later chapters present interesting lesser-known theorists such as Sergei Rubinstein, and more recent influential theorists such as Esther Thelen. The book also addresses lifespan perspectives and systems theory, and describes the latest thinking in areas ranging from evolutionary theory and epigenetics, to feminism, the voice of the child and Indigenous theories.
The new edition of Child Development has been extensively revised to include considerable recent advances in the field. As with the previous edition, the book has been written with the student in mind, and includes a number of useful pedagogical features including further reading, discussion questions, activities, and websites of interest.
Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives will be essential reading for students on advanced courses in developmental psychology, education, social work and social policy, and the lucid style will also make it accessible to readers with little or no background in psychology.

Recenzii

‘I whole-heartedly recommend this scholarly book. The authors provide a vibrant and enquiring overview of contemporary debates in developmental psychology, with inspirational coverage of such topics as the voice of the child and the families and communities in which children grow. The book is grounded in the authors’ deep understanding of fundamental theories and their willingness to relate these to practice. This book will give generations of students the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of child development in a multi-ethnic, ever-changing social context.’ – Helen Cowie, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Surrey, UK
‘The text is strikingly comprehensive – from historical approaches to post-modern interpretations, and with frequent citations from non-Western writing. Adept at linking various theoretical approaches, the authors include a very useful chapter on theoretical integration. A refreshing combination of theory and practice, the authors take a holistic approach, with theory serving as the underpinning for research, teaching and practice. Sophisticated and up-to-date – and highly recommended!’ – John D. Hogan, Department of Psychology, St. John's University, USA
'I was pleased to hear that this book, one that I have used for a number of years in my graduate introductory child development course, has been updated and revised. The new edition accurately reflects advances in the integration and inseparability of heredity/environment, brain/behavior, and self/other. I am very much looking forward to using and learning more from it in the coming years'. – Richard Volpe, Department of Applied Psychology & Human Development, University of Toronto, Canada

"(...) I enjoyed reading this book. Abstract and complex ideas are described in a clear and uncomplicated style, which makes it a very readable book that is detailed but not burdensome. I particularly liked the short stories, anecdotes, and poems, which clarified some of the more abstract ideas and issues. I wholeheartedly recommend this scholarly book to anyone who wants to have a comprehensive overview and critical discussion of the main theories that have been developed and an accurate picture of contemporary debates in child and adolescent psychology. As such, the book is a very good choice for a (graduate) introductory child development course." - Freek Bucx, The Netherlands Institute for Social Research, Journal of Family Theory & Review
