Emerging Adulthood by Karen J., MD Gilmore (Paperback Book)

American Psychiatric Association Publishing

What makes an adult? Is it living independently, having a stable career path, getting married, or becoming a parent? In the digital age, particularly in Western societies, such traditional markers have been increasingly postponed and redefined. Thus, the concept of emerging adulthood, first described by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, Ph.D., is a period between adolescence and adulthood properly characterized by identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between, and a sense of wide-open possibilities.\nMany contemporary researchers have defined emerging adulthood as the period between ages 18 and 29 years, but this new volume argues that it is more useful to look at early emerging adulthood, or late adolescence (ages 18\u201323), and later emerging adulthood (ages 24\u201329) separately.\n\nEmerging Adulthood\nA Psychodynamic Approach to the New Developmental Phase of the 21st Century\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery usi;
