Development through Adulthood, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that explores developmental stages and psychological changes across adult life. Written by Oliver Robinson, the text frames these transitions through empirical analysis and psychological theory.
Chapters adopt a thematic structure addressing interdependent cognitive, emotional, social, and moral dimensions of adult experience. The volume examines how individuals navigate key life transitions and crises across the lifespan, including the experience of parenthood.
The textbook is designated as core reading for students of lifespan development, gerontological studies, and the psychology of ageing. It also supports learners in applied social sciences and general readers seeking to understand the adult life course.
