AFter reviewing, the text is comprehensive and meets the objectives of the course
Comprehensive overview of the lifespan, liked topic organization, quality writing, and instructor support materials.
Does not focus enough on the role of counseling in lifespan development.
I found this book to be an excellent resource for undergraduate students taking a module in developmental psychology and have added it to my Module as a core textbook.
The book has been used in the past and returned to adopt it again! The author is very thorough.
