Human Growth and Development with Katie Ledbury

Rhys and Josh interview Katie Ledbury about Human Growth and Development, both the concept, and the class. Why study human growth at all? What is its relevance to the work of counselors, social workers and prescribers? What are the most helpful ways to understand the dynamic, life-long growth process of a person? We tackle all these questions and more. In particular, we critique the practice of studying the psycho-social stages of Erik Erikson. We note that Erikson understoond human growth through multiple lenses of privilege and note the limits of that perspective and further discuss whether or not and to what degree his theory may or may not still be relevant!
