"This workbook provides exploration of the most common theories on human development across a lifespan. It is designed to supplement traditional texts on lifespan development through focus on theories of development that can be applied across multiple stages of life, so that students can use this focus as both a foundation of study and a framework of study for development through all the stages of life.
The first chapter (Part I) provides background on the theories with an outline of workbook contents.
Part II provides discussion of the theories organized by focus of development.
Part III provides discussion of the areas of development involved in each stage of life.
Part IV provides discussion of the lifespan stages with application of the multiple theories to each stage.
Part V provides opportunity to blend knowledge and insight into reflections about one's own lifespan development.
Part VI facilitates application of this knowledge and insight for personal and professional life.
Part VII provides the list of references for the workbook.
Each section and sub-section begins with a chapter to introduce and summarize the contents of that section or subsection. Summarization includes tables to provide an overview of the section or subsection content. Additional exercises and resources are also provided for the focus of the section or subsection."
