Adaptation and the Life Cycle

Neugarten, Bernice L.

Counseling Psychologist, 6, 1, 16-20, 76

This paper is concerned with adaptation through time and with life time as differentiated from calendar or historical time. Life time is that of socially defined time; thus the author examines the system of social expectations regarding age-appropriate behavior which requires adaptive behavior on the part of adults.
