Great book about the theories of developmental psychology. Well organized and clearly explains every single theory. It also contains the author's evaluations on each theory. This is very helpful for the students. However, the price of the book is too expensive.
Great book. Definitely seems like a keeper. It's a great book to read, because the content is well organized and interesting for those who are venturing into childhood developmental education. I enjoyed reading it even outside of my childhood developmental course. It's got pretty useful information, and has helped me to understand children a lot better. Or at least view them in a more constructive manner.
As textbooks go, I found this one very readable - not as dense as most. It was a required text for my ed psych class. It's clear and easy to follow as an introduction to the different theories of developmental psychology.
This book by Crain gives interesting information and original theorists' insight with limited opinion. Once in a while Crain gives opinion but he tells you so you can easily separate fact from editorial material. I have actually used this book - underlined and highlighted - that is getting less frequent for me. I'd buy a Crain book again. 's service was equally as impressive.
This is a great book for the introduction to the ideas of Theories of Development. Whether it is your first time meeting these theories and their creators or reviewing them to refresh your memory, William Crain's layout of Theories of Development is an easy to understand format.
This is a must read for anyone interested in development theories. It covers a wide range of theories in simple language. I had to get it for a class and actually enjoyed reading it. I feel like I learned a lot!
I am a Ph.D. in education, and I will say that if you want a great overview for introductory students, this is a great text. It's also not as expensive as some of the Human Growth and Development texts out there.
Got this book for a class and have used it as a source for many papers since. Just a tip: renting books off of is super easy and cheap, but make sure you can keep the book as long as you need it. I've had a few semesters where the rental wasn't quite long enough--usually only by a few weeks, and discovered that buying the book(s) used off of was just as cheap. I now buy used or rent all of my grad school books from , and it has saved me hundreds. Much cheaper than renting or buying from my school.
