  This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth presentation of developmental psychology across a broad range of key issues which are at the forefront of current research. Written by an international team of experts, it gives an authoritative yet accessible account of the subject. It considers child development from infancy to adolescence, and adopts a topic based approach within a broadly chronological sequence. The chapters are grouped into five sections: Life Processes and Infancy; Cognitive and Representational Growth; Atypical Development; Interpersonal Processes; and, Towards Adulthood. This organisation of chapters allows the book to be read in any order without missing essential groundwork, depending on the needs and emphasis of the course being taught.
