The Psychology of the Child
by Jean Piaget Barbel InhelderPiaget’s influence on psychology has been profound. His pathbreaking investigations and theories of cognitive development have set child psychology moving in entirely new directions. His bold speculations have provided the inspiration for the work of others. His studies have been the subject of many books and countless articles. And, significantly, his influence has spread to other disciplines and is having an ever-growing impact on the general culture at large.Here Jean Piaget, with the assistance of his long-time collaborator Bärbel Inhelder, offers a definitive presentation of the developmental psychology he has elaborated over the last forty years. This comprehensive synthesis traces each stage of the child’s cognitive development, over the entire period of childhood, from infancy to adolescence.
The Public Policy Theory Primer
by Kevin B. Smith Christopher W. LarimerThis textbook for public policy students explains the fundamental concepts behind this emerging discipline, providing an integrated view of a field that is often marked by strong differences toward epistemology, methodologies and theories. Smith (political science, U. of Nebraska, Lincoln) and Larimer (political science, U. of Northern Iowa) approach this subject matter with the intent to clarify a "confusing and cumbersome" field, and they define the key issues of public policy such as its relationship with politics, the tools used to assess policy impact and how to implement these policies in the most effective manner. The introduction of scientific processes into the study of public policy is also reviewed. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

The Qualitative Vision for Psychology: An Invitation to a Human Science Approach
by Leswin Laubscher Roger Brooke Constance Fischer<p>This volume, edited by three leading proponents and practitioners of human science psychology, serves as an invitation to readers new to this approach while also renewing that invitation to those who have long embraced and advanced research in the field from this perspective. It is a timely and important invitation. In 2009, the American Psychological Association declared psychology to be a core STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) discipline and advocated the teaching and practice of psychology with this natural science understanding in mind, but in 2014 further reaffirmed alternative methods by adding a new journal, Qualitative Psychology. The varied essays in this volume, certainly, bolster the view that a purely STEM-centered vision would ignore much about the very experience of being human. <p>In fact, it would be dangerous to rely solely on the methods of the natural sciences to study human beings, who operate in the realm of meanings, lived experience, and complex and complicated relationships with self and others. We create societies and belief systems, orient ourselves in time, experience beauty and pain. The Qualitative Vision for Psychology: An Invitation to a Human Science Approach argues that because we have aspects that are distinctly and uniquely human--we are not rats, hydrogen, or rocks, for example--this necessitates a distinctly human science, one that regards persons as humans rather than objects of study. The laws and formulas of the natural sciences simply do not take into account that particularly human way of being in the world. <p>There are few comprehensive books on psychology conceived as a human science, even though it has a long history with roots in phenomenology, existentialism, psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology, and hermeneutics. In recent years, as these essays discuss, the field has been transformed through its contact with feminism, critical historical analysis, and deconstruction, and it has continued to examine new challenges. Further, we see here its specific applicability to issues as diverse as empathy, cultural history, apartheid, sexual assault, fetishes, and our natural environment.</p>
