Child Psychology: A Handbook of Contemporary Issues

This second edition of Child Psychology reflects the increasingly sophisticated and varied research methods used to examine the highly complex interactions contributing to children's cognitive, emotional, and social development.

Those chapters that appeared in the previous edition have been thoroughly updated and new chapters by outstanding researchers have been introduced. In addition, there is an entirely new section on adolescence and thorough coverage of salient ecological influences, which make this second edition a truly comprehensive resource on the important issues in child psychology.
