An introductory text that tackles controversial issues in an accessible way and which will be of interest to psychologists across a range of fields.
The lifespan approach emphasises that development does not stop when we cease to be adolescents but goes on throughout adulthood and into old age.
In initial chapters Leonie Sugarman outlines the issues surrounding the notion of development and how it can be studied, including reviews of the work of key theorists Erikson, Levinson and Gould. She goes on to consider the different ways in which the life course can be construed: as a series of age-related stages; as a cumulative sequence; as a series of developmental tasks; as a series of key life events and transitions or as a narrative construction which creates a sense of dynamic continuity. A final chapter looks at how people cope, the resources that are available and the theoretical and practical issues regarding interventions to assist them in the process.
