A human being’s development is a complex, multidimensional process,
one open to variations and variances. For professional counselors to
effectively serve those in need or provide preventative programs
fostering the development of wellness, understanding the intricate
nature of human development and the factors that impact that
development is vital.
_Facilitating Growth Through Lifespan Development_ provides readers
with a unique and illuminating review of theories and research that
describe and explain the lifespan, including its normative tasks and
progressions, and the challenges and roadblocks that can be
encountered. Readers gain a deeper understanding of the interplay
between one’s biological foundations and the
physical-social-psychological environments in which an individual’s
development plays out.
The book is organized alongside stages of development, transitioning
from conception to death. Each chapter presents theory and research
depicting the unique neurological and cognitive changes experienced
during a particular stage of development; normative changes in
emotional and social development; and conditions that reflect
development “outside of the norm” and invite mental health
intervention and prevention efforts. Throughout, cases and
self-directed exercises foster greater levels of reader engagement and
practical application.
Featuring a novel approach to the subject, _Facilitating Growth
Through Lifespan Development_ is an ideal textbook for courses and
programs in mental health counseling and human development.
