The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals by Pamela Blewitt, Patricia C. Broderick
natatorie's review against another edition
2.0
This book does a TERRIBLE job of unpacking gender and sexuality as it relates to human development. The section on LGBT* individuals was essentially just rehashing Freud's theory that homosexual teens are screwed up and then refuting it without offering a better explanation. Maybe one page, tops. The section on gender, meanwhile, ignores all of the scientific evidence there are more than two genders and instead says something along the lines of "sooooome people say there are more genders but we aren't those people we're just going to talk about man and woman GOOD BYE"
very disappointed.

Definitely not an enjoyable read-chapters were long and dense-but I did learn a lot.

In my opinion the chapters were a little too long. However the application sections at the end of chapters was very helpful and worth reading.

I found this to be very helpful in my studies as a Music Therapy. At times the text was bland, but I mean it is a school book so that is expected with most. Reading about different theories throughout the lifespan was very interesting as well.
