Psychology of Women, The: A Lifespan Perspective

Blurb

Chronologically organized, this book recognizes that a woman's experiences change as she goes through different life stages. In this rapidly expanding field of psychology, Etaugh and Bridges present this new text that draws on a rich blend of current and classical research to present a broad range of issues relevant to girls and women throughout their lifespan. Instead of the traditional, topical approach to the subject, the authors employ a chronological approach, which communicates the complexity and interconnections among physical, educational/employment, and interpersonal experiences of girls and women during each developmental stage of life.The inclusion of classic studies, up-to-date research, an engaging, first-person writing style, and the authors' own personal experiences helps construct a non-hierarchical relationship between the authors and their readers, making it even more enjoyable and accessible to students at any level.
