Summary:

While psychological research and theory has outlined many periods of the adult lifespan, one period of adult development remains largely ignored, the period from ages 30 to 45. Clare M. Mehta focuses on this period, outlining the concept of established adulthood. For many, the years of established adulthood are the most intense, demanding, and rewarding of adult life. During established adulthood, people must negotiate the intersecting demands of progressing in a chosen career, maintaining intimate relationships, and caring for children and/or aging parents. The successes and difficulties in meeting these simultaneous and sometimes conflicting demands have the potential to profoundly influence the direction of a person's adult life. As such, it is critical to better understand this period of development. This book provides an in-depth conceptualization and exploration of established adulthood.
