Most models of human development end abruptly with adolescence.
But, according to the internationally renowned theorist and
researcher Michael Rutter, we continue to mature throughout our
life span. In this volume, Michael Rutter and Marjorie Rutter chart
out in nontechnical language a comprehensive and vivid map of human
growth from cradle to grave. Arguing that there are discontinuities
as well as continuities to the growth process, they trace how basic
aspects of psychological functioning (such as emotion and
cognition) change over the course of life. The volume is organized
around themes - anger and aggression, social relationships,
intelligence and language - rather than specific age periods. Thus
we see the parallels between life crises and challenges at
different times of life (such as adolescence and old age). This
original approach also reveals the full significance of both
resilient and maladaptive responses to stress and adversity. The
authors thoroughly mine decades of developmental research to
transmute findings into brilliant nuggets of clinical wisdom.
Covering all factors - genetic, social, historical, cognitive,
biological - that shape human development, this pioneering book
explores and explains not only the universal aspects of maturation
but also how we each end up on our individual paths.
