Helen L. Bee (born 1939) is a psychologist and author of several books on the subject of human development, including both child development and adult development.
Bee was one of the two daughters of Austin Bee,[1] who influenced her deeply.[vague][citation needed] She received her BA from Radcliffe College in 1960 (magna cum laude) and her Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1964, under the tutelage of Robert Sears and Eleanor Maccoby.
Academic
After two years as an assistant professor at Clark University, in Worcester, MA, Bee moved to the University of Washington, where she taught for seven years, receiving tenure during that time. After leaving the university, she turned to writing books full-time. The best known of her books is "The Developing Child", now in its 13th edition. Her own favorite of the several books, however, is "The Journey of Adulthood", which included, for the first time in any such text, a chapter on spiritual development.[citation needed]
