Description
The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals, 6th Edition
Counselors and other helpers work with clients at every age, which is why human development sits at the core of their training. The Life Span 6th edition, by Pamela Blewitt and Patricia Broderick, covers that ground for people entering the helping professions.
Pearson Education publishes this trade paperback. It draws on education and psychology, with a particular focus on counseling and academic development, and this edition has revised features.
Development seen by a helper
The subtitle sets the book apart from a general developmental psychology text. Its readers are future counselors, educators and other helping professionals, so development is discussed with their work in mind rather than as theory for its own sake.
Scope and length
At 816 pages this is a long book. It covers subjects across education and psychology, and its treatment of counseling and academic development makes it a common pick for lifespan courses in counselor education.
Who it suits
It is written at the adult and further education level. Graduate counseling students taking a human growth and development course are the most typical readers, and practitioners can keep it as a reference.
Choosing the right edition
This is the 6th edition. Lifespan courses often require a set edition, so match the edition number on your syllabus before ordering. The book is in English and was revised with updated features for this edition.
