This book provides a comprehensive and updated review of the
concepts, models, and interventions related to the process of
adjustment to life course transitions. In times of transition, an
individual is exposed to experiences that require them to assume
new roles and exhibit updated behaviors. Regardless of the
characteristics of these transitions, exposure to normative
trajectories imposes on the person an intensive engagement in a
process of (re-)adjustment. Sometimes this demand is beyond the
scope of one's ability, motivation, or comprehension. Hence, some
people might ineffectively perceive and/or react to the change and
end up feeling unable to handle the change and inclined to escape
the situation. A preventive intervention that either reduces the
impact of possible risk factors or fosters possible protective
factors would support the people in managing the transition. While
the importance of prevention of maladjustment is repeatedly
mentioned in the literature, this is the first-known book on how to
prevent maladjustment. It examines how the sense of transition
emerges, what adjustment means, the models that elaborate on how
people manage in times of transition, what the antecedents of
maladjustment are, and especially how maladjustment could be
prevented. Out of these discussions, a new model, The Transitional
Stress and Adjustment (TSA) Model, is suggested as a grand
framework for paving a way forward to better prevent people's
maladjustment to life course transitions. Prevention of
Maladjustment to Life Course Transitions is a much-needed
cornerstone in the future development within the prevention science
framework. This book has interdisciplinary appeal for researchers,
practitioners, and graduate students in psychology, sociology,
public health, social work, criminology, medicine, health sciences,
public policy, economics, and education who consider prevention an
important vehicle of intervention to promote health and wellbeing.
Its focus on the topic of adjustment also would be of special
interest to those who explore child and youth development.
