Psychology of Human Development

Development issues, in general, the mental, in particular, has long in the area of ​​concern for many groups of scientists - philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, doctors, biologists, psychologists, teachers - and continues to be and now a permanent complex studies, interdisciplinary, focusing on thorough investigation of physical mechanisms and genesis of the laws that govern the creation, evolution and functioning psyche throughout human ages.



The theme is of great theoretical and practical, as early foreshadowing discerning process, since the prenatal period, the basic mental structures and then the enrichment and diversification of their successive maturation during the life of the individual, we provide keys to understanding of what is constant and variable becoming psychological human being, of what normality and deviation from normality in the process.

It is obvious that, depending on the image we have on the internal dynamics of mental evolution - which begins in early childhood continue in adolescence and turns to young adults and the elderly - can structure practice certain ways of reporting the personality of the develop and conduct of the segment-specific response of individual time in its history.

Florinda work Golu, suggestively titled "The Psychology of Human Development", is a successful attempt, of high scientific, to respond, in terms of contemporary, these complex issues, thorny but fascinating psyche in the early dawn of human being and registration plamadirii developments and impending downturn of the time axis until the final moment of life.

The author predicts and demonstrates, with great wealth of scientific facts and arguments provided by the literature consulted and the results of original research, by itself, as the psychological genesis of this process, the decisive role is how hereditary factors work together , environmental and educational seen as being in a relationship overlap, coevolutie and mutual modeling.

This optical methodology - systemic and interactionist - crosses a red thread around the paper, can be found in the analysis of specific forms in each stage of development. It is used by the author explaining the foundation of what is common, constant and variable for individuals belonging to the same period of age, but practically are on different levels of development. The development paths systematically combines similar, with different homogeneous, general and with particular uniqueness of the individual.

Structured in twelve chapters, the book offers a panoramic view Florinda Golu chaining the cycle life performance, with their contrasting aspects, changing with their continuity and discontinuities. It insists, with reason, the pressure moments, conflict, crisis, generating new motivations of development that its print character kneading process, dramatically, in the context of which the individual is in a feverish search for self continues. Ages and stages of development are different, with different psychological profiles, but are not strictly defined, rigid, insurmountable boundaries. But every new stage breast is made in the previous stage and offers, in turn, passing the premises to the next stage. Hence the appearance of unique history and unitary time evolution of the human being, which itself remains always identical with itself, but at the same time, accumulate and assimilate various changes - cognitive, emotional, behavioral, action - adapting is the new status and roles in society and to bring about each new tier of age.

Of course, trying to the requirements and recommendations adaptezele social development actors often slip sliding slope certain deviations, deviations from expectations psycho-behavioral models. It produces so-called 'errors' development, which, uncorrected timely educational mechanisms, may cost him dearly on the individual, delaying it and reducing its potential evolution adaptive in relation to family life, professional, personal. The author is very careful to possible developments of these deformed, anomie, to identify signals of interest and outlines their improvement strategies.

Beyond the forefront of analysis, natural flowing, fluent in a structured path, I say, algorithms and constantly maintained by the author, the paper contains a construction background, which takes the form of boxes, tables and images, associated text, containing many case analysis, information exemplary, iconic materials that give theoretical support and substance treatment and determines that, overall, the text becomes very compelling, and his very pleasant reading.

The author avoid linear style, simplistic, superficial descriptive-narrative biographies of mental evolution of man and move to a more close to reality, combining description with analysis depth explanation. This quality, associated in a manner to lead happy with the way scientific discourse, which is a concrete, flexible, attractive, persuasive, cause psychological portrait of man with its various components, structured and sequenced chronologically, to gain consistency, color and color, to become a living, permeated by the lights and shadows, but their age and defining each period for each individual separately. However believes will motivate the reader to linger with interest on the text and make a pleasant and profitable reading.
