Description
Understanding the Life Course: A Sociological and Psychological Perspective This comprehensive guide explores the entire life course from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining insights from sociology and psychology. Lorraine Green presents key research studies and theories in an accessible style, supported by real-life examples, to help understand the life course from birth to death and beyond. The book examines the many ways the life course can be interpreted, including themes of linearity and multidirectionality, continuity and discontinuity, and the interplay between nature and nurture. The second edition updates key data and includes additional material on topics such as new technologies, changing markers of transitions to adulthood, active ageing, resilience and neuropsychology. Suitable for students on vocational programmes such as social work and nursing, as well as those studying psychology and sociology, this book provides thought-provoking insight into the wider contexts of the life course.
