A Feminist Companion To Developmental Psychology

The Feminist Companion series includes titles that act as your friends and mentors in book form, supporting you in your studies, especially when things get tough.
This companion offers a better-informed understanding of developmental psychology, covering key topics such as attachment, developmental disability, neurodiversity, and a range of other formative childhood experiences, all through a feminist lens.
The implicit ethical issues that occur when conducting psychological research on children are also explored in depth.
Ultimately, this book aims to develop your critical and analytical skills by encouraging a questioning approach to understanding theories in developmental psychology and considering how they have been applied in the real-world, including in school, healthcare and immigration settings.
The book maps to the British Psychological Society (BPS) curriculum on research methods as well as the Quality Assessment Agency’s (QAA) Subject Benchmark Statement for Psychology.
