Theories of development psychology
As developmental psychology grew over time,
varied researchers proposed theories about how to
understand the process of human development.
Depending on their training or coaching,
developmental psychologist may focus on a
selected theory or approach inside the
field.  Here are some of the main branches of
developmental psychology.

• Attachment Theory

Attachment theory, originally developed by
psychoanalyst John Bowlby, establishes the
importance of a steady, supportive, and loving
caregiver in infant and child development. If a
child doesnt establish such a connection, or if
they expertise parental separation or loss, they
may still have a hard time with healthy
attachments as they get older.

2) Psychosocial Developmental Theory
Psychosocial development theory is an expansion
of Sigmund Freuds original 5 stages of
development. Erikson, a 20th-century
psychologist, and psychoanalyst, developed or
formulated the eight-stage life cycle theory in
1959 on the supposition that the environment
plays an essential role in self-awareness, human
adjustment, development, and identity

3) Cognitive Developmental Theory
In addition to speedy physical growth, young kids
additionally exhibit vital development of their
cognitive abilities. Piaget thought that
childrens ability to grasp or understand
objectssuch as learning that a rattle makes a
noise once shakenwas a cognitive skill that
develops slowly as a child matures and interacts
with the atmosphere. Today, developmental
psychologists think Piaget was incorrect.
Researchers have found that even very young kids
perceive objects and how they work long before
they have experience with those objects.

4) Moral development theory
Piaget claimed that logic and morality develop
through constructive stages. Increasing on
Piaget's work, Lawrence Kohlberg determined that
the method of moral development was mainly
involved with justice, and it continued
throughout the individual's time period. He
instructed 3 levels of moral reasoning
pre-conventional moral reasoning, conventional
moral reasoning, and post-conventional moral
reasoning. The pre-conventional moral reasoning
is typical of kids and is characterized by
reasoning thats based on rewards and punishments
related to totally different courses of action.
Conventional moral reason happens throughout late
childhood and early adolescence and is
characterized by reasoning based on the rules and
conventions of society. Lastly, post-conventional
moral reasoning is a stage during which the
individual sees society's rules and conventions
as relative and subjective, instead authoritative.

Treatment of development psychology
Psychologists and alternative counseling or
guidance professionals approach treatment from a
range of philosophies, and a developmental
psychologist focuses on human development that
happens throughout the period. All areas of
growth and development are studied, as well as
social, cognitive, intellectual, physical,
perceptual, and emotional. Professionals
in developmental psychology take their knowledge
or data of the ways in which individuals grow and
change throughout life and apply that
understanding to help clients to make healthy
changes toward their overall goals.  Developmenta
l psychologists may also directly diagnose and
treat varied conditions. For example, a
developmental psychologist could refer a parent
to a speech-language pathologist or physical
therapist if their kid isnt meeting the usual
developmental milestones (such as walking or
talking) by the typical age. They could also
diagnose somebody with a learning disability or
help an older adult in hospice care (end-of-life
care) who feels unsatisfied and unhappy when they
or look back at their life.
