Provides fundamental knowledge while challenging readers to question, evaluate, and consider contextual factors when applying developmental theories
This unique and refreshing text imbues lifespan development theories, concepts, and research with unaccustomed energy and life-while meeting the rigorous academic standards required for accreditation in the helping professions. Going beyond mere memorization, the book illuminates the contextual and cultural dimensions of human development by underscoring current and relevant research; considering the racial, social, and economic factors that impact human development; offering the perspectives of a broad spectrum of esteemed helping professionals; and incorporating case studies, podcasts, vivid graphics, and interactive activities.
Highlighting the ways in which developmental theories are applicable to contemporary life, the text uses case studies to demonstrate how clinicians can use their knowledge of development to support client growth, the expertise of multidisciplinary health professionals to highlight different developmental theories and approaches, and analyzes foundational theories against a backdrop of current research that factors in contextual and cultural dimensions. These include a focus on racial and social inequality, social media, children with special needs, persons with disabilities, poverty, and development in time of pandemic. Chapters are organized by lifespan development phases and begin with a case study emphasizing cultural and contextual considerations followed by relevant theories and models to conceptualize the particular phase. Supportive teaching tools include Instructor's Manual, PowerPoints, and Test Bank. Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers.
Key Features:
Kelly Coker, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, is a cis-gender white female in midlife. She is a professor and associate chair of the counseling program at Palo Alto University. She is also a fierce and loyal wife, mother, sister, daughter, and aunt. Kelly has been a counselor educator for more years than she can count, and as part of this work has published and presented a lot. She loves nothing more than training emerging counselors how to be their best selves, how to work with humility and compassion, and how to always strive to meet their clients where they are. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) and Board-certified Tele-Mental health counselor, Kelly works with a small handful of clients in a tele-mental health private practice. She is amazed by how often consideration of phases of life enters into her work. It is for this reason that Kelly wanted to engage in this exciting project with three other warrior women. She would love to hear from you, students and educators, about how this book informs your learning, your clinical work, and your understanding of self.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
