Overview

The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals provides human development information that can be translated into professional best practices. The authors offer an in-depth look at the science of human development for individuals working in fields such as education, counseling and social work. The text reflects the contemporary view that life span development is a process deeply embedded within and inseparable from the context of family, social network and culture.

The 5th Edition offers fresh coverage of topics including child rearing, gender non-conformity and promoting well-being in adulthood. New introductory vignettes in each chapter help you see the relevance of chapter content to your own life and those of the people you serve.
