Janet Belsky is an innovative and accomplished teacher, an engaging and perceptive writer, as well as a practicing
psychologist who has worked in many settings--from inner-city hospitals to nursing homes. Drawing on the sensibilities
that have defined her professional life, Janet Belsky has produced an exploration of development across the lifespan
unlike any other. Person-centered yet scientifically sound, practice-oriented yet rich in current and classic research,
Belsky's Experiencing the Lifespan offers students an experience learning about life that they will take to heart.
And at around just 550 pages, it is an experience that fits comfortably within a single term.
