About

Developmental psychology that’s interactive, engaging, and easy to understand.
 
Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed survey of developmental psychology across the lifespan is always up to date, inclusive of cultures from every corner of the globe, and compelling in the way it shows you the everyday relevance of theories, ideas, and discoveries. With its new edition, the text becomes a more deeply integrated text/media resource than ever, with the book and its dedicated version of LaunchPad combining seamlessly to enhance your learning experience. But driving that experience, as always, is the clear, engaging voice of the author, revealing for you the connections between the study of development across all stages of life and life that you actually live. LaunchPad also includes a fascinating interactive experience that has you “raising” a virtual child from sperm-and-egg to teenager.

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 The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence, The Developing Person Through the Life Span, and A Topical Approach to the Developing Person Through 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, and as she revises each edition of her books.She is also the author of Grandmothering: Building Strong Ties with Every Generation (2019).
