Edition after edition, Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed bestseller, The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence, re-establishes itself as the ideal chronologically organized textbook on child development. Exceptionally current, with a broad cultural perspective, the new edition is unmatched. It connects an evolving field shaped by fascinating new research and an evolving classroom shaped by powerful new media. But under the new findings and new media tools, the text’s deepest connection with students comes from the captivating, compassionate, authorial voice of Kathleen Berger, which makes the core concepts of developmental psychology clear, compelling, and relevant to the full range of students taking the course.
Available for Fall 2014 classes, this update version features new content from Kathleen Berger in response to the release of the DSM-5. This new content is integrated into the text without changing pagination or the structure of the chapters. A special DSM 5 Supplement by Berger is available for Fall 2013 and Spring and Summer 2014 courses.
