Book Description:

This presents the view that research, history and policy are essential and interlocking components of a mature developmental psychology. Patterns of human development differ markedly across historical epochs, cultures, and social circumstances. An historical perspective reveals the beneficial, if sometimes contentious, interplay between empirical research and social programs and policies.
