ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kathleen Stassen Berger received her undergraduate education at
Stanford University and Radcliffe College, and then she earned an
M.A.T. from Harvard University and an M.S. and a Ph.D. from
Yeshiva University. Her broad experience as an educator includes
directing a preschool, serving as chair of philosophy at the United

Sing Prison who were earning their paralegal degrees.

Currently, Berger is a professor at Bronx Community College of the
City University of New York, as she has been for most of her
professional career. She began as an adjunct in English, and for the
past decades she has been a full professor in the Social Sciences
Department, which includes sociology, economics, anthropology,
political science, human services, and psychology. She has taught
introduction to psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology,
human motivation, and all four developmental courses — child,
adolescent, adulthood, and life span. Her students — who come from
many ethnic, economic, and educational backgrounds, with varied
ages, interests, and ambitions — consistently honor her with the
highest teaching evaluations.
Berger is also the author of Invitation to the Life Span and The
Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence. Her
developmental texts are currently being used at more than 700
colleges and universities worldwide and are available in Spanish,
French, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as English. She is among the
top 100 female authors assigned in colleges in the United States and
the United Kingdom, an honor she shares with Jane Austen, Toni
Morrison, and 97 other well-respected women.
Berger’s research interests include adolescent identity, immigration,
bullying, and grandparents, and she has published articles on
development in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Psychology and in
publications of the American Association for Higher Education and
the National Education Association. She continues teaching and
learning from her students, as well as from her four daughters and
5
three grandsons. She has recently published a trade book,
Grandmothering: Building Strong Ties with Every Generation.
