Product DescriptionUnderstanding Human Development introduces students to the core theories of human behaviour drawing on developmental research, as well as literature from more adversity-focused areas such as trauma, grief and stress.

The multidimensional approach encompasses themes about an individual's inner and outer worlds, time, human experience, adaptation and coping, and human servicesresponses.About the AuthorLouise Harms is Associate Professor, Deputy Head, Social Work and Director, Teaching and Learning at the Melbourne School of Health Sciences at The University of Melbourne.
