How the Child's Mind Develops by David Cohen
In this very readable book, David Cohen discusses the latest studies and covers all the controversies that have dogged the subject of child development for nearly 150 years. He examines the work of the 'greats' like Piaget, Freud and Vygotsky and shows how the issues that have intrigued psychologists relate to any child growing up today."This book serves a number of varied audiences, including education professionals, academic audiences and all those connected with early years activitiesIt also provides a sound introduction for those working in health care contexts and would be ideal for individuals working in Children’s Centres. The book is equally of use to all primary school teachers and all those working in early years contexts. For academic audiences, the book could be used as a foundation and undergraduate level text ." (Kagari Shibazaki, University of Huddersfield)
"David Cohen's readable and stimulating waltz through the history of child psychology provides anecdotes, exercises, and ideas for parents and educators alike. The author covers major controversies, theories and debates in a friendly and outspoken manner and, in doing so, shows us the broad range and also the limitations of the classic explanations of, and research into, children's mental development." (Dr Nicky Hayes, psychologist and author, University of the Highlands and Islands)
