Summary: This stimulating book and its companion volume, Adult Personality Development: Theories and Concepts, reflect an expansion of the coverage of Wrightsman's initial book, Personality Development in Adulthood. In this second volume, Applications, Wrightsman explores new topics and includes a wide variety of sources, such as scholarly articles and books, biographies, and case studies. Increased attention is devoted to creativity in adulthood, learning and memory, marriage stability, and other topics. The book provides a focus for a Psychology of Adulthood course that encourages students to look at the evolving nature of their own lives. Particular attention if given to developing an extensive set of references (over 700 in this volume) as an aid to scholars. -- Publisher description.
