Childhood and Adolescence

Walking you chronologically from infancy through the teen years, Rathus/Rathus’ “Childhood and Adolescence: Voyages in Development,” 8th Edition, helps you understand how developmental theories and research apply to everyday life. Interspersing personal and humorous stories with the latest research and theory, the text captures the wonder of child and adolescent development while portraying the field of development as the rigorous science that it is. New references and relevant information from the DSM-5-TR of the American Psychiatric Association includes changes to substance use disorders, autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
