"Unique in its dual focus on emotion and lifespan development, this text weaves together theory, research, and practical clinical implications for fostering children's emotional well-being. The author examines how emotions are experienced, expressed, understood, and regulated from infancy through later adulthood, surveying both typical and atypical development. For each stage, chapters highlight the interrelated influences of temperament, neurobiology, and the social environment, and distinguish universal processes from those that vary across cultures. The book presents current knowledge about specific emotions, probes the causes and consequences of emotional maladjustment, and reviews evidence-based and promising interventions. Innovative methods, examples, and meta-analyses are described; key terms are defined within chapters and in an end-of-book glossary. Subject Areas/Keywords: textbooks, texts, graduate courses, developmental psychology, emotions, affect, infant mental health, children, childhood, adolescents, adults, older, regulation, maladjustment, abuse and maltreatment, human, social, parenting, relationships, interventions, temperament, attachment, socioemotional, psychopathology, programs Audience: Students and researchers in psychology, human development and family studies, and social work; also of interest to mental health professionals"-- Provided by publisher.
