Portraits of Pioneers in Developmental Psychology

The Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology series, begun in 1991, takes a new direction with this volume, focusing in turn on specific specialties of psychology. Developmental psychology comes first, and the essays here profile 16 figures, among them Heinz Werner and a differentiation theory of development, the theorist of the child's mind Jean Piaget, Lois Barclay Murphy as a pioneer of positivity, golden age psychologist Joseph McVicker Hunt, and Mamie Phipps Clark starting from strengths.
