An excellent text. Engages the reader and presents seminal theory in an easy to grasp format which I have found invaluable when teaching undergraduate nursing students. - Maureen Campbell, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Dundee This second edition provides a wide-ranging and insightful analysis to psycho-social development across the lifespan. Highly recommended. Dawn Judd, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Central Lancashire One of the great strengths of Beckett's writing is that his style is accessible to new undergraduates and he makes sure that complex material is summarised in a way that enables students to understand difficult issues. - Jacqueline Hughes, University of Huddersfield This is an excellent read. An impressive array of theoretical underpinnings applied to contemporary practice. Indeed a recommended read for students across the health and social care professions. - Michelle Davies, Academic Leader-Inter-Professional Practice (Social Work & Youth Work), University of Wales, Newport This book is a pleasure to read...the book will helpfully guide students at a range of levels to understand the critical stages of Human Development and apply theory to practice. - Mohammed Jakhara, Assistant Head of Subject, Applied Social & Community Studies, University of Derby
