This work clearly and concisely delivers the most current research findings in the field of adult development and aging.
This classic work offers a thorough treatment of early and middle adulthood. It is the only text to integrate research from psychology, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and biology into a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of adulthood. In-depth interviews with adults at various ages put theory into context, showing both long-term change and continuity. This new edition includes a new chapter on cognition, the Medicare changes of 1989, and many new references.
This comprehensive text encourages students to consider the phenomenon of adult development and aging from a behavioral point of view. Schaie and Willis introduce current theory and research on the major psychological issues and provide background on the social and biological aspects of development that are essential to students' understanding of behavioral age changes.

With its multidisciplinary approach and focus on psycho-social issues, this topical text features coverage of the concepts and issues in the field of adult development.

This text acknowledges that humans exist within multiple environments; thus, the individual is presented in the context of society and the resulting personal and social history. An array of issues are integrated into the text, including the influence of socio-cultural, biological, economic, and political forces. The significance of cohorts, gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, and culture are also emphasized.
The Handbook of Adult Development is an overview of the major theories and research in the field.

By soliciting contributions from current leading theoreticians and researchers in the field of adult development, the volume will present state-of-the-art theory and research on this burgeoning subfield of developmental psychology. Professionals, clinicians, researchers, and academics in the larger field of development psychology will find the book an invaluable resource, as will graduate students in the same field.
For some time now, the study of cognitive development has been far and away the most active discipline within developmental psychology. Although there would be much disagreement as to the exact proportion of papers published in developmental journals that could be considered cognitive, 50% seems like a conservative estimate. Hence, a series of scholarly books devoted to work in cognitive development is especially appropriate at this time. The Springer Series in Cognitive Developmemt contains two basic types of books, namely, edited collections of original chapters by several authors, and original volumes written by one author or a small group of authors. The flagship for the Springer Series ...
Written within a biopsychosocial framework, Cavanaugh and Blanchard-Fields' best-selling text covers the specific ages-stages of adult development and aging.

The book's focus on "positive aging" and the gains and losses people experience across adulthood distinguish it from its competitors.
