Pre-Owned Developmental Regulation in Adulthood : Age-Normative and Sociostructural Constraints as Adaptive Challenges (Hardcover) 9780521581448

How do individuals influence their own development and how do they shape their life course? How are biological and societal constraints helpful as age-graded timetables for planning one's life?
