Book Description:

Whatis childhood and why, and how, did psychology come to be the arbiter of'correct'or 'normal' development? How do actual lived childhoodsconnect with theories about [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]child [color=orange ! important]development? In this completely revised and updated edition, Deconstructing Developmental Psychologyinterrogates the assumptions and practices surrounding the psychologyof child development, providing a critical evaluation of the role andcontribution of developmental psychology within social practice.
In the decade since the [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]first [color=orange ! important]editionwas published, there have been many major changes. The role accordedchildcare experts and the power of the 'psy complex' have, if anything,intensified. This book addresses how shifts in advanced capitalism haveproduced new understandings of children, and a new (and more punitive)range of institutional responses to children. It engages with theparadoxes of childhood in an era when young adults are increasinglyeconomically dependent on their families, and in a political context ofheightened insecurity. The new edition includes an updated review ofdevelopments in psychological theory (in attachment, evolutionarypsychology, theory of mind, cultural-historical approaches), as well asupdating and reflecting upon the changed focus on fathers andfathering. It offers new perspectives on the connections between Piagetand Vygotsky and now connects much more closely with discussions fromthe sociology of childhood and critical [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]educationalresearch. Coverage has been expanded to include more material on childrights debates, and a new chapter addresses practice dilemmas aroundchild protection, which engages even more with the raced and genderedeffects of current policies involving children.
This engaging and accessible text provides key resources to inform better professional practice in social work.
