### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Poorly written; offers BROAD overview
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2014*

The book provides an overview of theories in developmental psychology.  Some sections are better than others, but in general, the author seems to assume a reader that is ignorant to the world outside psychology.  The chapter on ethology, for example, gives poor definitions of sociobiology, and skirts about words like homoplasy, giving bad approximations to the concepts rather than using the correct terms.  At time (e.g., the chapter on Piaget), the book adds little to what one could get from a good general psych text.  The Vygotsky chapter is written without consideration for his place in history.And (pet peeve); the book needed editing.  Substituting 99% of the exclamation marks for periods would mean an immediate (and easy) improvement.However... it is not completely a waste of time for someone who wants a non-technical, simplistic explanation of the main theories in developmental psychology.  The author seems to include most of the relevant research, with consideration to its relevance today.  The chapters are structured coherently, beginning with an overview, and ending with summaries that are often the best written section.  (They tend to have less excessive punctuation and less hyperclaiming.) The chatty, informal language would probably appeal to the layperson who wants to avoid more complex explanations.Recommended for people who want a broad overview of theories and methods of developmental psychology but do not wish to read technical language or challenging vocabulary.

    Miller's scholarly assessment of developmental psychology
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2011*

Miller does a scholarly job in evaluating the merits of each of the developmental theories in psychology.  This work is well-organized though the subject matter can be less than entertaining at times.  It is definitely one of the best written, assessments of developmental psychology without exposing the reader to some of the perverse idiosyncracies of the likes of Freud, et. al.  This work is recommended for its scholarship and cogent writing and clear assessments without being so biased as many writers tend to be.

    Glad I rented and did not buy
  

*by C***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2015*

I needed this book for a graduate course I am taking.  I found it to be very dry and boring.  It does not link well to the course syllabus. This is a book on theories.  Merriam-Webser states that a theory is "an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true."  Why present information that is not proven to be true?  Does the entire field of psychology only consist of theories?  When will it move on to something concrete.
