He's still a good place to start, influential, and probably not completely wrong. Psychology usually has a number of frameworks that can be used to describe/theorize a situation. The best developmental frameworks probably focus on a mesh of Biology/Neuroscience/Psychology. I'm not a developmental psych guy, and the neuroscience and biology stuff is definitely out of my realm.

Developmental Psychology was the only Psychology class I ever had that made me want to blow my fucking brains out.
Every other psych class I had was a fucking pleasure cruise though.
