Gibson and Gibson have created an important student-friendly resource in this well-written and informative book. If you struggling to make sense of life course theory, particularly key psychodynamic theory's and concepts, and their impact across the life course this highly readable book will help! Primarily aimed at social work students, the coverage of key theories is comprehensive. Learning is supported through links to case studies, and providing opportunities for critical thinking and reflection to support their application to practice. This book provides a welcome extension to the important discussions in life course theory practice. --Dr Janet Walker (06/09/2015)
