This has been the go-to book for development theory for quite a while. This text was assigned to me in an adolescent psych class for my undergrad, an intro to human development course for my masters, and now for an advanced human development class in my Ph.D. program.

Recommends it for: early childhood teachers/students
It's fairly concise - little bit of background on each theorist and a fairly broad but accurate overview of the theories involved. Not too technical.

Used in my Lifespan Human Learning and Development class. I thought this book was good. An effective resource for learning about theories of development.

This book gives a really good overview of a number of different theorists.
I consider this more of a survey of the many different theories of development. Great resource to have for a psyche major.

Provides excellent synopsis of theories learned as an undergraduate student, great refresher.
Excellent! I have referenced this book so many times going through school.

This book contains a fairly concise overview of many different theories of psychological development.
For most theorists, Crain includes a brief biography, the basics of the theory, discussions of application, and then an evaluation.
The biographies are useful for historical perspective. I found the application section to be the most helpful as the applications generally were from an educational perspective.
Topics covered: (paraphrased from Table of Contents)

buku yang bagus, William Crain menjelaskan teori - teori perkembangan, konsep dan aplikasinya dengan baik. Setiap teori terstruktur dan dijelaskan dengan bahasa yang mudah dimengerti. Secara garis besar ia mencoba mengelompokan pemikiran para psikolog, etolog, pendidik dan filusuf dalam dua kutub besar yg pada beberapa konsep - konsep saling bertalian.Dua kutub itu adalah dari teoritisi/psikolog/pendidik yg menganut filosofi Rousseau dan Locke. Developmentalism vs Environtmentalism, nature vs nu..more
I read this book for a required course on Child & Adolescent Development at UMass Boston, and I can honestly say it was great! I learned a lot, the writing is engaging, and I even read beyond the course requirements because I wanted to learn about Chomsky. I especially liked Crain's emphasis on the role of nature in child development.. I just felt sad that probably it's too late for humanity to turn back the clock on technology. In that spirit, I am getting off the computer right now-- than..more

This is a survey book of several theories of development spanning from Locke and Rousseau to Freud, Jung and Maslow. For what it's worth, it was interesting to see how different theories developed and how they differ. I felt it was very good of the author not to really rank any of them, but allow the reader to evaluate them based on the evidence for each theory.
I was surprised to learn more about psychologists like Freud and Jung than I have learned in my other classes though.
Glad to have this..more

menarik.. 3 tahun pertama infant (setidaknya sampai yang saya baca -- akhir bab 3)
attachment, ethology, etc..
banyak hal menarik..
cocok untuk pemula atau mahasiswa karena memberikan dasar-dasar pemikiran dari beberapa psikolog dari bidang developmental psychology, barangkali karena buku ini ditujukan juga sebagai materi kuliah.
juga, translation ke indonesia yang bagus

Excellent summation of developmental theories. Balanced/objective opinions. A worthwhile tool for psychologists, social workers, and all those in the social sciences.
I enjoyed this more than any other book read for school, ever! Loved this.
