在阅读《解构发展心理学》（DDP）第三版之前，我考虑了它与第一版和第二版（1994年和2008年）的不同之处，以及它如何进一步充实我自己的工作，发展心理学家的工作，以及社会科学研究人员的研究影响儿童的生活或集中儿童的生活经验。在这篇评论中，我借鉴了我的经验，使用DDP作为心理学本科生的核心教学文本，并作为我自己的博士研究和咨询实践的中心参考点。与以前的版本类似，DDP的目的不仅是解构发展理论，而且要看看发展心理学做什么，并解开知识结构和权力之间的关系。正如Burman在另一份出版物中所写的那样，她的作品借鉴了这样一个假设：“'儿童'是在多重、矛盾和不断变化的话语中构成的;它既不完全抽象，也不具体，因为它不能在围绕儿童和童年的更广泛的话语和关系之外发挥作用”（Burman Citation 2018，第14页）。伯尔曼在书中的序言概述了自2008年以来该书内容的发展，借鉴了有关“弹性婴儿大脑”，早期干预，难民危机和跨国移民，种族主义和英国“紧缩”的新兴话语。这本书的结构带领读者通过主流发展心理学的类别。Burman认为，这不是为了复制现有的叙述，而是为了“突出主题领域的话语结构”（第3页）。首先，Burman提供了儿童和儿童发展研究的历史背景，探索了儿童是如何构造和定位的。然后，她专注于社会发展和关怀的结构，突出育儿话语和关系。接下来，她探讨了沟通，语言，以及分析塑造成人与儿童关系的权力结构的重要性。最后，她通过突出主流理论和分析它们被提出的历史和文化背景来关注认知发展。
Before reading the third edition of Deconstructing Developmental Psychology (DDP), I considered how it would differ from the first and second editions (1994 and 2008) and how it might further inform my own work, the work of developmental psychologists, and social science researchers whose research affects the lives of children or centralises the lived experiences of children. In this review, I draw on my experience using DDP as a core teaching text for psychology undergraduates and as a central place of reference for my own doctoral research and counselling practice.Similar to previous editions, DDP’s aim is not only to deconstruct developmental theories but also to look at what developmental psychology does and to unpack the relationship between knowledge construction and power. As Burman writes in a further publication, her work draws on the assumption that “‘child’is constituted amid multiple, contradictory and shifting discourses; it is not entirely abstract, nor specific, since it cannot function outside broader discourses and relationships surrounding children and childhood”(Burman Citation 2018, p. 14). Burman’s preface in the book outlines the development of the content of the book since 2008, drawing on emergent discourses regarding “resilient baby brains,” early intervention, the refugee crisis and transnational migration, racism, and British “austerity.” The structure of the book takes the reader through categories of mainstream developmental psychology. Burman argues this is not to reproduce existing accounts but rather to “highlight the discursive construction of topic areas”(p. 3). First, Burman provides a historical background of childhood and child development research, exploring how the child is constructed and located. She then focuses on social development and the structure of caring, highlighting parenting discourses and relationships. Next, she explores communication, language, and the importance of analysing power structures that shape adult-child relations. Last, she focuses on cognitive development by highlighting mainstream theorisations and analysing historical and cultural contexts in which they were proposed.
