The book focuses on the theorists who have built upon the developmental tradition established by Rousseau, along with other theorists, including ethologists and psychoanalysts, who share a developmental outlook.

This edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, and now includes: • A new chapter comparing treatment approaches to autism • Greater attention to Erikson’s theory of identity formation and how it pertains to gender issues • New thoughts on cultural factors in Piaget’s theory • Biographical material on Jane Goodall, Howard Thurman, and Albert Einstein that illustrate developmental processes Demonstrating how we might view the world differently at various stages of life, Theories of Development is a must-read for all students of psychology and education.

Assessing Genetic Risks
Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.

The Quantitative Journal Article Reporting Standards Working Group developed standards for quantitative rese...
