- Description
- Erica Burman’s book Deconstructing Developmental Psychology (DDP), which appeared in first edition in 1994 and in second edition in 2008, critically appraised mainstream psychology’s approaches to child development, using feminist and post-structuralist theory. In it she examines the historical contingencies and cultural assumptions that form the conditions of possibility for the elaboration of the various Developmental Psychology approaches. She shows how these approaches form powerful discursive resources in regulating women and families, in marginalizing working class and ethnic minority people, and in pathologizing mothers. In this special focus, to appear over three issues, we seek to unpack the impact of the book since its first publication 20 years ago.
