Embark on an illuminating voyage through the biological foundations of human nature and development with Psychobiological Footprints through Human Development. This unique volume unveils the intricate dance between genetics, neuroscience, and environment, offering a holistic understanding of how we become who we are.
This comprehensive book examines the psychobiological, neuroendocrine, and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate developmental processes in typical development and under conditions of developmental risk. Moving within a dynamic systems epistemic framework and capitalizing from the heritage of the infant research field, it provides a solid framework for comprehending the interplay of nature and nurture. With a captivating blend of theoretical principles, processes, and contextual applications, this book transcends academic boundaries to empower anyone interested in the intricacies of human development.
Psychobiological Footprints through Human Development is a guide to discovering how our life experiences contribute to making us who we are and therefore it is invaluable to graduate students in the fields of developmental psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and related disciplines. Delving into the biological roots of behaviour, cognition, and emotion, it will also equip practitioners, researchers, and educators with invaluable insights to enrich their practice.
