Eleven theories of human development that continue to guide research and practice are examined in this engaging text. The theories are grouped into three families: those that emphasize biological systems, those that focus on environmental factors, and those that reflect an interaction between the two. Each family of theories is introduced with a brief overview of their unique perspectives and the rationale for grouping them together. Discussion of each theory includes the cultural/historical context during the theory's development, key concepts and ideas, extensions of the theory in new directions, a research example, an example of how the theory is applied in contemporary practice, and an analysis of how the theory answers six basic questions that a theory of human development should address.
