Böcker av Leo Hendry

Home circumstances or school regimes are often blamed for the worst excesses of pupil disaffection. The authors argue that this simplistic response needs to be re-examined, and report the findings of a research programme based on the views and experiences of pupils themselves.

Following the path from early adulthood to old age, this engrossing introduction offers students an insight into how psychologists have made sense of the significant markers in people's lives. The authors discuss stage theories, and ecological and systemic approaches to show how these ideas illuminate our understanding of lifespan development.
