Features: This book is permeated throughout by the concept known as "lifelong and holistic developmental psychology," which holds that the growth of any child is a comprehensive product of the local and contemporary human, natural, and social environments. This is manifested in the fact that a child's growth is directly influenced by the family, while the child's growth, in turn, directly and profoundly impacts the family they belong to. The growth of any family or any child cannot be completely detached from the influence of the historical context, geographical environment, social and political environment. From this perspective, the growth of any child cannot be an isolated event; rather, it is a highly social process.
