With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by Achieve, Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed introduction to childhood and adolescence development weaves classic and cutting-edge research, contemporary topics (especially neuroscience and culture), and relatable real stories and personal experiences. Achieve for the text offers additional ways to engage students, including Data Connections, which let students explore the data behind high-impact research; and Developing Lives 2.0, a robust upgrade of the acclaimed parenting simulator in which students “raise” a virtual child through adolescence.

The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence by Kathleen Stassen Berger - Thirteenth Edition, 2024 from Macmillan Student Store

GO DIGITAL WITH ACHIEVE!
Always current. Always innovative. No one tells the story of development through adolescence better.

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by Achieve, Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed introduction to childhood and adolescence development weaves classic and cutting-edge research, contemporary topics (especially neuroscience and culture), and relatable real stories and personal experiences. Achieve for the text offers additional ways to engage students, including Data Connections, which let students explore the data behind high-impact research; and Developing Lives 2.0, a robust upgrade of the acclaimed parenting simulator in which students “raise” a virtual child through adolescence.

 

Features

Contrasting Perspectives focuses on controversial topics—from prenatal sex selection to e-cigarettes and presents information and opinions on both sides of each topic so that students will weigh evidence, assess arguments, and recognize their biases while reaching their own conclusions.

A View from Science explains research and A Case to Study illustrates development via specific individuals.

Inside the Brain features explore topics such as the intricacies of prenatal and infant brain development, brain specialization and speech development, and brain maturation and emotional development.

Career Alerts present students with career options for various applied settings related to development through the lifespan

 

New to This Edition

New topics and research including:

  • Screen time
  • The lasting effects of Covid-19 on children and adolescents
  • Gender identity and sexual orientation
  • The psychosocial effects of the threat of gun violence and of active shooter drills
  • Family structures

 

“I really enjoyed hearing from experts in the field. The Beng series of videos was really useful [for] extending the concepts beyond the classroom.” — Kendra Thomas, Hope College

“What I love about this book in general includes: the instructor resources that are provided. I appreciate the student-centered activities (e.g., activity sheets, true/false quizzes, and discussion questions) that make the course more engaging. Also, I like that the test bank system is also very easy to use and easy to integrate into the LMS system I use. Finally, the writing style is clear and easy to read.” — Rita Obeid, Case Western Reserve

“The text is highly readable and covers the important basics. Its additional questions and features would make it a good text to use in a class that has diverse majors.” — Joan Bihun, UC Denver

Authors

Kathleen Stassen Berger

Kathleen Stassen Berger received her undergraduate education at Stanford University and Radcliffe College, earned an M.A.T. from Harvard University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Yeshiva University. Her broad experience as an educator includes directing a preschool, serving as chair of philosophy at the United Nations International School, teaching child and adolescent development to graduate students at Fordham University and undergraduates at Montclair State University in New Jersey and at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, as well as teaching social psychology to inmates at Sing Sing Prison. Throughout most of her professional career, Berger has worked at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, first as an adjunct and for the past two decades as a full professor. She has taught introduction to psychology, child and adolescent development, adulthood and aging, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and human motivation. Her students—who come from many ethnic, economic, and educational backgrounds and who have a wide range of ages and interests—consistently honor her with the highest teaching evaluations. Berger is also the author of A Topical Approach to the Developing Person Through the Life Span, The Developing Person Through the Life Span, and Invitation to the Life Span. Her developmental texts are currently being used at more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide and are available in Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as English. Her research interests include adolescent identity, immigration, and bullying, and she has published many articles on developmental topics in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Psychology and in publications of the American Association for Higher Education and the National Education Association for Higher Education. She continues teaching and learning as her four daughters and three grandsons continue to develop, as she interacts with students every semester.
