Human Development and the Life Course: Multidisciplinary Perspectives

First published in 1986. This volume addresses the strengths and limitations of a life-course perspective on human development. The life-course perspective has been variously described as offering a paradigmatic shift in conceptions of human development or as laying the foundation for a new discipline. More modestly, the perspective has been described as primarily an approach to guide research rather than a theory containing specific propositions.
