Berger’s unique voice as an experienced teacher, researcher and parent makes the concepts and research that drive developmental psychology clear, compelling, and easy to grasp by relating them to the reader’s personal experiences.
This text covers cutting-edge research, including new developments in late-breaking research areas from epigenetics to end-of-life care, ensuring that students are up to date with a constantly evolving field.
Berger highlights cultural differences and universals, detailing their impact on the values and customs that shape individual development, to help students understand childhood development beyond their own culture.
From chapter-opening stories, to special pedagogical features such as quizzes and infographics, Berger encourages students to think critically about the real implications of the research and material they are learning—for themselves and for the world at large.

“I really enjoyed hearing from experts in the field. The Beng series of videos was really useful [for] extending the concepts beyond the classroom.” — Kendra Thomas, Hope College

“What I love about this book in general includes: the instructor resources that are provided. I appreciate the student-centered activities (e.g., activity sheets, true/false quizzes, and discussion questions) that make the course more engaging. Also, I like that the test bank system is also very easy to use and easy to integrate into the LMS system I use. Finally, the writing style is clear and easy to read.” — Rita Obeid, Case Western Reserve

“The text is highly readable and covers the important basics. Its additional questions and features would make it a good text to use in a class that has diverse majors.” — Joan Bihun, UC Denver

Kathleen Stassen Berger

Kathleen Stassen Berger received her undergraduate education at Stanford University and Radcliffe College, earned an M.A.T. from Harvard University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Yeshiva University. Her broad experience as an educator includes directing a preschool, serving as chair of philosophy at the United Nations International School, teaching child and adolescent development to graduate students at Fordham University and undergraduates at Montclair State University in New Jersey and at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, as well as teaching social psychology to inmates at Sing Sing Prison. Throughout most of her professional career, Berger has worked at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, first as an adjunct and for the past two decades as a full professor. She has taught introduction to psychology, child and adolescent development, adulthood and aging, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and human motivation. Her students—who come from many ethnic, economic, and educational backgrounds and who have a wide range of ages and interests—consistently honor her with the highest teaching evaluations. Berger is also the author of A Topical Approach to the Developing Person Through the Life Span, The Developing Person Through the Life Span, and Invitation to the Life Span. Her developmental texts are currently being used at more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide and are available in Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as English. Her research interests include adolescent identity, immigration, and bullying, and she has published many articles on developmental topics in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Psychology and in publications of the American Association for Higher Education and the National Education Association for Higher Education. She continues teaching and learning as her four daughters and three grandsons continue to develop, as she interacts with students every semester.
