SynopsisFor junior/senior-level courses in Psychology of Aging and Adulthood. Incorporating both chronological and topical approaches, this comprehensive, scientifically oriented text considers the phenomenon of adult development from a behavioral point of view. It introduces current theory and research on the major psychological issues, and provides background on the social and biological aspects of development that is essential to students' understanding of behavioral age changes. Written to be thorough yet avoid jargon, this book's contents will enlighten and encourage students to seek a career in the study of aging., This comprehensive book helps readers process a clear picture of adult development and aging with the help and results of intensive scientific research. It challenges common stereotypes about this subject matter, and interprets the research data into an optimistic yet realistic appraisal of the many problems faced by the elderly in today's society. Chapter topics look at independence and intimacy in young adulthood; responsibility and failure in the middle years; the reintegration or despair of later life; research methodology; families; careers; personality development; learning and memory; intellectual and biological development; mental disorders; and death and bereavement. For individuals who want to view the potential richness of life--at all stages, and/or understand the lives of older adults they may care for., This comprehensive book helps readers process a clear picture of adult development and aging with the help and results of intensive scientific research.
