A global and international approach is evidenced in integrated coverage of culture.

Consistent focus on future careers, this text shows students how they can apply their learning in a work setting through new career alerts.
Filled with stories about real people, cutting-edge research and current events with real life applications the narrative is designed to stimulate critical, reflective, and forward-thinking in every student.

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.

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.
