Il testo è chiaro, redatto da autori molto preparati e con cognizione di causa; la scelta dei curatori è molto buona, sia quanto a tematiche che per gli autori individuati. Il testo richiede di essere affiancato da un manuale di Psicologia dello Sviluppo, ma rimane un ottimo strumento per approfondire le teorie classiche tramite la lente che viene da contributi più recenti
