How do we become who we are? What might it feel like to be born? What does ‘I love you’ really mean? Why do we repeat the patterns of our parents’ and grandparents’ lives without realising it? The Stages of Life provides the ‘big picture’ of the human lifespan that is often missing in developmental psychology courses. The author explores how our personalities evolve in response to both genetic and social influences, how and why individuals differ, and how some problems tend to develop at particular stages of the life course.
