Personality Development by Elizabeth B. Hurlock

This text uses a chronological, life-span perspective to give a complete picture of development from conception to death. The material for the text comes from a summary of the most recent findings of research studies in areas such as medicine, psychology, sociology, education and anthropology. All aspects of development are included, and adequate space is devoted to each to enable students to feel that they are informed of the typical and normal development of each stage.
