| Designed for senior students in the Clinical PhD program who have child-focused interests, this course focuses on theories and research that inform our understanding of normative development during the first two decades of life. Foundational aspects of development (e.g., biological, cognitive, emotional) during infancy, childhood, and adolescence will be reviewed along with individual development that takes place in relation to others (e.g., moral development, sexuality) and in various contexts (e.g., family, peers, school, media). The relevance of typical development for a clinical context will be considered. |
