Preface to the 4th edition. Introduction: Commitments, Resources and Methodological Frameworks. PART I: Constructing the (developing) subject. Origin stories: How animals, humans, colonial and sex/gender dynamics structure the study of childhood. Researching Infancy: The conflation of the technical with the conceptual, and an ethical interruption. Attributing sociality: From smiling and jiggling to mentalisation, the problem of mirror perspectives, autism and the 'double empathy problem', ethical-political questions of culture, gender and (reproductive) technologies. Discoursing 'child': Psychology textbooks, 'children's 'needs', childcare advice and intensive mothering, the schooled child (and its relations with – the gendering of - ADHD), why (not to) breastfeed, the child subject of humanitarian aid - and its others. (Gendered) models of childhood (and parents): 'inner child', endangered (groomed?), bullied and dangerous children, working children, early intervention shrinking the social and how resilient babies' brains make national wealth. PART II: Social development and the structuring of care. Protecting children? Reporting, supporting and removing children, gendered, classed, colonial and racialised intersections, listening to children and a historical detour generates new perspectives on ACEs; climate anxiety and the 'child mental health crisis'. Familiar assumptions: de-naturalising the child-family-state (and stateless) nexus; and how 'age assessment' repeats the problems of cross-cultural psychology; key topics for researching children and families. Bonds of love and the making of attachment: mothers, nannies, and the global care chain; racialised, colonial and class overdeterminations and double standards, and legacies from Bowlby and Freud. Losing, saving or extending attachment: Retelling the origins of 'maternal deprivation' as empirical and ethical overreach, current cautionary reformulations and the importance of groups. Involving fathers: shifting masculinities, gendered tensions, and how these subvert or, alternatively, maintain developmental imperatives. PART III: Developing communication. Language talk: From labels to actions, routines and chunks; inner speech vs egocentrism, emotions in and through language, from monolingualism to multilingual, translanguaging and raciolinguistic perspectives. Discourses of caregiving talk: from adult adaptations and models to inter-generational, cultural and embodied perspectives. Language and power in developmental research: Seven examples of how power relations constitute and constrain speaking positions for children. PART IV: Cognitive development: the making of rationality and its others. The disciplining of Piaget and Vygotsky in the construction of developmental psychology: missing links, recent re-evaluations and what these indicate about how geopolitics structures psychological discourse. Child-centred education and beyond: from whole children to the regulation of families, home-schooling, what's wrong with 'play', 'schoolification', 'emotional intelligence' and the 'growth mindset', to re-interpreting the 'attainment gap' as racial capitalist governmentality. Morality and the goals of development: From children's games to ethical-political dilemmas of developmentalism, critical resources, and some proposals.

Recenzii
As each edition of Deconstructing Developmental Psychology has furthered understandings of critical analysis as applied to developmentalism, this fourth edition is openly embedded within a perspective that acknowledges the political, ecological, and economic changes over the past thirty years that necessitate continued deconstructions of the field. While unmasking contemporary increases in racism, unexamined forms of sexism, and expansive international economic inequity, in this outstanding work, Erica Burman demonstrates and problematizes developmental psychology as a construction of the Global North that, however unknowingly, essentializes, exploits and oppresses those who are labeled ‘children’ and their ‘others’. The reader is further reminded that if critical work publicly holds power to account, particularly when unquestioned universals are applied to policy and the state construction of childhood, more just alternative futures are possible.
Dr. Gaile S. Cannella, Independent Scholar, Editor of Sage Handbook of Critical Qualitative Inquiry (publication 2027)
Readers of the previous editions of ‘Deconstructing Developmental Psychology’, and new readers, will welcome the opportunity to read this challenging and comprehensive 4th edition. Burman’s politically and morally informed interrogation of the assumptions surrounding developmental psychology as a science and as deployed in practice is an essential antidote to the still widespread acceptance of the claims of traditional ‘Child Development’ and, indeed, of mainstream psychology itself.
Sheila Greene, Professor Emerita, School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin
Few books have so fundamentally transformed the study of developmental psychology as Erica Burman’s Deconstructing Developmental Psychology. Erica has fundamentally changed how we understand the assumptions, categories and power relations that organise developmental psychology. This fourth edition demonstrates once again the extraordinary critical range and continuing relevance of her work, engaging with contemporary debates around gender, trans issues, disability, nationalism and colonialism, alongside new materialist approaches to early childhood education.
Sabah Siddiqui, Associate Professor of Psychology, Krea University
Having served as a key work of reference for more than three decades, this expanded and updated fourth edition of Deconstructing Developmental Psychology is a most welcome contribution. The new edition reflects geopolitical changes and current debates, and explores the ways in which naturalised discourses of children and childhoods are constructed, as well as the consequences these constructions have for professional practices and people’s lives. The book’s explicit commitment to feminist, decolonial, and intersectional perspectives, signaled in its new subtitle, is consistently elaborated throughout. Burman’s sharp analyses, illustrated through numerous relevant and timely examples, make this book a rich source of contextualised knowledge for students and professionals alike. The book is a gift to anyone seeking to deepen and articulate a critical stance within psychology and beyond, and for those committed to engaging in critical work in their respective fields.
Oddbjørg Skjær Ulvik, Professor Emerita, Oslo Metropolitan University
Deconstructing Developmental Psychology asks the question every discipline and professional practice concerned with children must eventually face: what socioeconomic and political interests are served when we decide what 'normal' development looks like? Drawing on forty years of research and teaching across psychology, education, social work, gender studies, children's development studies, nursing and psychotherapy, Erica Burman shows how the theories and models of developmental psychology carry class, gender and colonial assumptions that shape real policy, real diagnoses, real social and gender relations. Whether you're a psychology student, a social worker navigating child protection systems, a political scientist studying how nations invoke 'the child' to justify development policy, or a clinician weighing social context against neuroliberalism, this book will challenge some discourses and practices in your own field. Sharp, wide-ranging and unflinching, it is essential reading across every discipline that claims to know what true development is about. As its new subtitle for this edition makes explicit — Feminist, Intersectional, Decolonial Interventions — this is the work of one of the most important critical voices working at that very intersection today. Now in its fourth edition, featuring entirely new and updated material throughout, it arrives with all the weight of that long engagement behind it.

The latest edition of this seminal text has the remarkable distinction of being both a classic in childhood studies and at the cutting edge of the field. It speaks to the urgent material, representational and psychic challenges of our time, making clear that the study of childhood is never neutral. Burman’s rigorously researched and carefully argued prose shows how the child figure, particularly in developmentalist formulations, is readily coopted, helping us to understand how the mantra of ‘protecting children’ often masks its opposite as it is used to justify genocide or support racial capital’s contemporary fascistic turn. Through abundant examples and wide-ranging sources, Burman urges us to look beyond widely accepted developmental ‘truths’ and embrace praxis oriented to a more expansive, diverse, and just world.
Professor Rachel Rosen, Director, Critical Childhood Studies Centre, UCL
Erica Burman’s seminal text Deconstructing Developmental Psychology is essential reading for all who are interested in children and intergenerational life. Through sharp critique and engagement with methodological and epistemological questions, the argument is made that these are always simultaneously ethical-political questions. Burman’s wide-angle lens situates children in the world, in place and time, and in this new edition, her theorising is inflected by the pervasive polycrises of (post)colonial violence and planetary precarity. In this context, the book provokes us to urgently re-think developmental psychology in emancipatory ways, aligned with Burman’s feminist, intersectional and decolonial commitments.
Professor Jill Bradbury, NEST (Narrative Enquiry for Social Transformation), University of Witwatersrand
The publication of the fourth edition of Deconstructing Developmental Psychology, three decades after the first, is a milestone worth celebrating. The book has offered generations of students, researchers, and psychologists a plural, counter-hegemonic reading of developmental psychology, prompting questions and practices that challenge the universalizing and ostensibly scientific gaze directed at children, childhoods, families, caregivers, and adults. In this edition, the dialogue with intersectional and decolonial feminisms is deepened in the discussion of theories and prescriptions that individualize development on the basis of Global North ideologies. Such theories reinforce inequalities that marginalize children and caregivers who do not fit the developmentalist script. The analysis of classic authors and concepts in developmental psychology is interwoven with a discussion of contemporary issues, such as technological advances, the deepening climate crisis, the intensification of global conflicts and wars, and the expansion of neuroscientific discourse, each with implications for how children, the future, and generations are theorized. The work of critically connecting the origins and the future of developmental psychology makes the book stimulating for both those already experienced in working with children and those beginning a professional path in the field. In this sense, honoring the intersectional injunction that there is no hierarchy between theory and practice, the book offers, at the end of each chapter, activities for exploring the themes further through texts and other discursive materials, with references updated in this edition. With the reaffirmed wager that the deconstruction of developmental psychology must be part of developmental psychology rather than a knowledge external to it, Erica Burman offers us this new version, which continues to introduce complex questions and problems in the field, grounded in the robustness of the author's body of work.

This volume does far more than update an essential text. In Deconstructing Developmental Psychology, Burman has brought together a bold and comprehensive engagement with developmental psychology as a discipline, its critiques and implications. Ten years on from the previous edition, the world has significantly changed- and Deconstructing Developmental Psychology provides a much-need analysis and response to the contemporary landscape.
