An award winning text that takes students on an engaging journey through the lifespan
Janet Belsky's Experiencing the Lifespan always reflects a scientist's understanding of key research, a psychologist's understanding of people, and a teacher's understanding of students. This updated new edition features significant new findings, a broad-based global perspective, and enhanced media offerings. In a highly conversational style, with pedagogy that reinforces learning, and with examples drawn from an extraordinarily broad range of cultures throughout the world, the book remains at just the right length and level of coverage to fit comfortably in a single-term course.
- Culturally-focused. In writing her developmental text, Belsky takes a global and international approach in her integrated coverage of culture and pays special attention to the issues facing immigrants and ethnic groups. In Chapter 1, Janet introduces the concept of collectivist and individualist cultures...and spells out the differences between the developed and developing worlds. Moreover, in every chapter, the Setting the Context sections offer cross-cultural perspectives on the upcoming material.
- Applicable & Experiential. Guided by a carefully constructed pedagogical system, Experiencing the Lifespan is easily one of the most applied lifespan texts. Intervention sections illustrate practical implications of the research being discussed, while Experiencing the Lifespan boxes report on interviews the author conducted and show how developmental science can make a difference in people's lives.
- Accessible. With a primary goal to make human life and research come alive for all students - and a desire for students to see her joy in conveying the information in her writing, Belsky has truly built her text to reach all levels of students. Filled with stories about real people and open-ended questions at key points in the text, the narrative is designed stimulate critical, reflective, and forward-thinking in every student.
- Brief...finally. Experiencing the Lifespan is just under 500 pages..., an accessible research-based text written for today's students.

"This text covers lifespan development in a manner that can easily be accomplished in one semester, with 15 chapters rather than close to 20. This text offers great review questions throughout the chapters with excellent images and photographs to supplement the material. This text is also an excellent read for undergraduate students in any academic major" --- Chrysalis Wright, University of Central Florida;
"Your students will thank you for using such a readable book that makes the topic of development both interesting and accessible. This is a user-friendly text." --- Lena K. Ericksen, Ph.D., Western Washington University
"I have never seen a textbook that covers the lifespan in such a clear and concise, but also detailed way as the Belsky text. The supplemental information embedded within the text is relatable to students and attracts their interest in the topic. To me this is the best lifespan development text on the market. This text also uses great real world examples that students can relate to and encourages students to critically think about many questions and dilemmas that arise in development I always say I will never change this text out. I haven't seen another textbook that adequately covers the lifespan as well as this text and does so in a thought provoking and easy to understand way." --- Heidi Beattie, Troy University
"The greatest strength of this textbook is Janet Belsky's writing style. You feel as if she is talking to you, explaining things so well and telling you about her own life. It's a wonderful skill. My students tell me it is an easy book to read and it keeps their interest." --- Suzy Horton, Mesa Community College
"I love the attachment section in Ch. 4. It is more thorough than in other texts I've used and it is such an important topic in development. I also love how Belsky presents different sides of some controversial topics in human development and invites the students to decide for themselves, but to use critical thinking skills based on research (such as co-sleeping, pros and cons of hospice care, etc.)" --- Wendy Bianchini Morrison, Montana State University - Bozeman
"The last several sentences of the final chapter are so touching and nicely wrap-up the entire theme of the course that I often will read them word for word for the students. One student in conversation referred to the text as a perfect guide for life and another said reading it was like reading one of those popular press psychology magazines. The text and the way it is written is relevant to any major, not just psychology. Since selecting this book for the 2008 academic year I have not looked at any other textbook for the course. Why change when the book is engaging, covers the needed material and does so in a thoughtful way that hits both the "science" and "humanness" of human psychology?"--- Chad Keller, Lewis and Clark Community College
"I have read every single word of your "Experiencing the Lifespan" textbook. It may not seem so, but that says A LOT about your writing. I have never read anywhere close to a full textbook across my 20+ years of education. Thank you for sharing tidbits about your own life in the text, for obtaining such relevant quotes from others, for crafting a story-like text, and for producing a textbook that encouraged me to read every bit of it. I have never felt this way about a textbook before. Thank you."
--- Nicole Mulcahy, student

Final Thoughts
Janet Belsky
Born in New York City, Janet Belsky always wanted to be a writer but was also very interested in people. After receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania, she deferred to her more practical and people-loving side and earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Chicago. Janet spent her thirties in New York City teaching at Lehman College, CUNY, and doing clinical work in hospitals and nursing homes. During this time, she wrote one trade book, Here Tomorrow: Making the Most of Life After 50, got married, adopted a child, and, with the publication of the first undergraduate textbook in the psychology of aging, began what turned into a lifelong developmental science textbook writing career. In 1991, Janet moved to Tennessee with her family to write and teach undergraduate courses in psychology at Middle Tennessee State University. After her husband died in 2012, Janet moved to Chicago and developed new passions: enrolling in the Master's Program in Liberal Arts at the University of Chicago, volunteering to teach older adults. Still, she remains committed to her enduring mission—exciting readers in the marvelous human lifespan through writing Experiencing the Lifespan.
