Description: This book advances adult development theory with the authors' insights on the importance of developmental life-ties. Drs. Anderson and Hayes use findings from their original research to explore how men and women shape and integrate their identities and self-worth within the framework of the influential life-ties of family, work, friends, and education, among others. Gender-balanced personal stories bring the text to life and help illustrate the major findings of their research. This text is particularly useful in courses in adult development, life-span development, gender studies, and family studies.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 316-332) and index.
