The textbook for this course was written for psychologists, but the issues raised are just as relevant for other health care professionals. There is considerable overlap among the disciplines of health psychology, medicine, nursing, sociology, and others. Each of the five chapters presents a review of the research literature and raises important ethical issues about adult development. As you will see, there is considerable debate as to when adulthood begins and whether adulthood is better characterized by stability or change.
