Understanding personal relationships throughout the life course is
one of the most crucial issues in the behavioral and social
sciences. This book brings together perspectives from different
disciplines on individual development and personal relationships
across the life span. The book addresses two pertinent dimensions
of personal relationships: 1) structures of relationship networks
(e.g. kin vs non-kin, peripheral vs intimate, short-term vs
long-term) and 2) processes (i.e. change or stability) and outcomes
of personal relationships across the life span. The book stimulates
discussion of personal relationships as resources for and outcomes
of individual development throughout the life course. Different
qualities of personal relationships serve as catalysts for
individual development. At the same time, relationship qualities
reflect changes of developing individuals. The book does not give
exclusive priority to one phase of the human life span. Rather,
each chapter addresses social development across the entire life
span from childhood to later adulthood.
