Developmental Psychology in Action looks at how
psychologists contribute to the development and well-being of
children in practical ways. The role of psychologists and
psychological theory is considered with respect to specific topics
which focus on child development in the context of social,
educational and clinical issues. The chapters are authored by
active researchers and practitioners in each field. Each chapter
provides an introduction to the topic under discussion and aims to
stimulate reflection and evaluation.
This is the final book in a series of four which form part of
the Open University course Child Development. The series provides a
detailed and thorough undergraduate-level introduction to the
central concepts, theories, current issues and research evidence in
developmental psychology.
Developmental Psychology in Action is a course text for the Open University course ED209 Child Development.
