"This book is unique because of the focus on longitudinal studies
and international perspectives . . . There is no other book like it
. . . This book will be useful both as an advanced undergraduate or
graduate course text and as a resource for scholars." - Rosemary
Blieszner, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University "A
very strong volume . . . [T]his book will clearly be a 'must-have'
for scholars interested in midlife." - Michael Marsiske, University
of Florida "Midlife is no longer an 'uncharted territory' in human
development. A group of outstanding researchers from different
countries focuses on this peak period in the life span . . .
Various views, including historical, cultural, and socio-structural
perspectives, are adopted . . . [C]omprehensive reviews of studies
on almost all relevant domains of human development . . . are given
and provide a colorful picture of what midlife in these days may be
all about." - Sigrun-Heide Filipp, University of Trier, Germany
Middle adulthood is a critical period of the life course. How we
develop in middle age-the central period of our lives-can influence
how well we cope in our later years. Middle Adulthood: A Lifespan
Perspective explores these issues by bringing together a
distinguished group of international contributors associated with a
range of prestigious longitudinal studies. Key Features: Presents a
much-needed longitudinal, lifespan perspective on middle age
Provides a multicultural perspective to determine universal
normative patterns of midlife development Addresses a broad scope
of topics, including historical perspectives on the emergence of
middle age as a normative developmental period in the life course,
change and stability in personality, and cognitive development and
decline Middle Adulthood is designed for scholars, researchers, and
practitioners in the field of adult development and aging. It is an
excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students
studying midlife development in the departments of Developmental
Psychology, Human Development and Family Studies, Gerontology,
Family Diversity, and Health.
