Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Development
Dr. Jeremy Jewell is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Ten Volume Encyclopedia The first work on the topic of its scale, The Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Development is a ten volume piece – offering major theories, key concepts, discoveries, and evidence-based practices of the field.
The content of the encyclopedia is organized in two main parts—Child and Adolescent—and ten subparts. The first six volumes focus on topics of growth, behavior, cognition, emotion, family, and community in child development. The final four volumes explore the history, theory, and culture of adolescent development, biology and cognition, social contexts, and of the development of the self in adolescence and emerging adulthood.
