How can we make sense of change and stability through the lifespan
of human development? What role does personal experience, our
relationships with others, and historical and sociocultural
contexts play in shaping these changes? This is the first book to
offer an integrative overview of the range of developmental
transitions which occur through the lifespan. Bringing together
different theoretical and conceptual perspectives and a broad range
of empirical research including quantitative and qualitative
approaches, this book encompasses a range of complex transitional
forms. Covering topics such as health transitions, transitions in
friendships and romantic relationships, career transitions, and
societal transitions, this book takes the reader beyond a focus on
childhood and adolescence, to look at the whole lifespan.
Reflecting a perspective that takes into account a sociocultural
past and present, this book seeks to show how transitions can be
viewed as both an experience of uncertainty and possibility.
Transitions perform important functions and present psychosocial
opportunities. Developmental Transitions is essential reading for
all undergraduate and graduate students of developmental and
cultural psychology and is also a valuable resource for academics
and practitioner audiences interested in stability and change as
people age.
