This edited, counseling-specific text provides graduate students with needed information on human growth and development. It provides a brief overview of developmental theories, all of which are a review to students from their undergraduate work. At its heart, the book, based on Relational-Cultural theory, addresses various topics and critical contexts as they relate to human growth and development and stresses relational development, critical thinking and the central theme of how shame plays into development.
What an amazing book! I highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to better understand how we each fit into our various social contexts. It is an edited text and has fantastic questions posed to really get you thinking about how you look at your views in a broader spectrum of light.
