Comparing Theories of Child Development by Rory Thomas

Comparing Theories of Child Development by Rory Thomas

Explaining the nature of theories in the field of child development (including why theories are useful and why there are multiple theories), this text covers a range of theories. It suggests a variety of ways to compare theories to help guide the search of child development theorists who may be dissatisfied with existing explanations of how a child grows up. As well as including material on the bio-electrochemical view of the child, the book features charts that trace the popularity of each major theory from 1910 to 1995. Each chapter is organized around individual theorists and shows how the theories relate to the concepts discussed within each chapter.
