Infant Development: A Multidisciplinary Introduction (with InfoTrac) by Jean Mercer (1998-08-04)

Infant Development: A Multidisciplinary Introduction (with InfoTrac)

This comprehensive and inviting book strikes an ideal balance between a research-based and an applications-oriented approach to infant development. While Mercer examines the complexities of infant development, her approach is down-to-earth and easy to understand. Her outstanding prose (universally applauded by pre-publication reviewers), coupled with the perspective and style she brings, results in a book that is theoretical and practical at the same time. In an arena where many competing books are written in a dry, esoteric manner, Mercer's approach is fresh and inviting. Engaging, clear, and current, "Infant Development" is the ideal book for future human services practitioners (teachers, nurses, social workers, etc.).

This book takes a natural and holistic approach to the study of developmental psychology by examining the processes of continuity and change as they are affected by the individual life-cycle, by the family life cycle, and by changing social and cultural factors. The effects of biological factors, health, and physical development receive considerable attention as well. In connection with these other factors, it is emphasized that the understanding of human development must involve study of minority and Third World children, as well as the children of white middle-class Americans. Contents: Biological Background of Infancy; Physical Development: The Early Years; Language and Cognition: The Early Years; The Growth of Personality: Birth to Age 2; Physical Development in the Preschool Years; Advances in Cognition and Language; The Social Preschooler; The School Years: Learning and Schooling; The School Years: Social Development; Physical Maturation; Cognitive change in Adolesce Social and Emotional Changes in Adolescence.
