Classifications of Life-Span Development
When did you become an adult? Was it the day you
graduated from high school? Or, was it the day you moved out of your
parents’ or caregivers’ home? Your description of what it means to be an
adult and how and when an adolescent transitions into adulthood may
differ from that of your colleagues.
The authors of your course text, Zastrow, Kirst-Ashman, &
Hessenauer, use the term young and middle adulthood to identify the
life-span time period between age 18 and 65. This classification
distinguishes this time in the life of an individual from childhood and
adolescence and from the later years of adulthood.
Is the authors’ young and middle adulthood classification a useful one?
What is especially useful and not useful about the classification? What
changes would you make to the authors’ classification to make it more
applicable to your role as a social worker?
For this Discussion, you analyze the author’s life-span classification and suggest ways to improve it.
