Social and Emotional Development: by Karen Rosen

Bringing together key theories and research in a unique integrative approach, Karen Rosen guides the reader through the fascinating and interrelated themes of attachment and the self. In this comprehensive overview, she examines developing relationships with caregivers, siblings, peers and friends from infancy through to adolescence.

'Rosen provides an intelligent, contemporary and engaging account of the formative periods and domains of individual and social development, vital to an understanding of what it means to be human' - Professor Howard Steele, The New School, USA 'This is the definitive textbook on attachment and the development of the self - a key topic for students of development as well as clinicians of all orientations. It is a comprehensive and well-organized presentation of a complex and often difficult-to-access area, written in a crystal clear and engaging style.' - Professor Peter Fonagy, University College London 'This is not a superficial treatment of the topic, but Rosen succeeds in making the content readily available to students and very engaging. She takes a questioning approach to the research which ignites the readers' concern and interest. The book is rich in detail, scholarly and up to date, providing an in-depth introduction to material central to the study of social and emotional development in infancy through to adolescence.' - Dr. Brenda Todd, City University London 'An engaging text that integrates cutting edge research from a range of aligned disciplines to explore the importance of the social relationships that we form during childhood and adolescence.' - Dr. Lucy Betts, Nottingham Trent University
