Developmental psychology : how nature and nurture interact
Item Preview
xv, 249 pages : 22 cm
"Psychology is caught in a conflict of paradigms. We all claim to be interactionists, yet we continue to accept the language and the thinking of traditional dichotomies: nature/nurture, innate/learned, mind/body, organism/environment. This clear and refreshingly-written text explores these confusions and provides a trenchant critique of dichotomous thinking. It moves on to offer an alternative view of development, first describing in an accessible way ecological and dynamic systems perspectives, and then combining them to provide a more coherent and powerful critique of recent research and major issues."--BOOK JACKET
Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-242) and index
