In the previous chapter, we examined some of the cultural and contextual factors impacting development in late adulthood. This stage of life is typically characterized as starting in the mid 60s and continuing into the 80s, 90s, or until the end of the natural lifespan. In this chapter, we look at developmental theories, models, and research about older adults, and strive to understand how to apply these theories to work with adults in late adulthood. As it is important to always view developmental theories with a critical eye, we include both critiques of the theories presented, and recent and relevant research and writings about how these theories inform our understanding of older adults. Using the case of Rose, our fictional client introduced in the previous chapter, we will present psychosocial development theory (Erikson), human potential stages (Cohen), bioecological theory (Bronfenbrenner), and the ecological theory of aging (Lawton). We include additional cultural and contextual factors of aging impacting development, and conclude with thoughts from two experts from the field, Dr. William Barkley and Dr. Nina Nabors.

What is “middle adulthood”? As recently as 100 years ago in the United States, the average lifespan was 47 years old. As baby boomers continue to be the largest demographic in the country, people are living longer and as a result, creating a new stage of life—middle adulthood. This stage ranges from anywhere between 40 and 65 years old and is marked by significant changes and milestones. From launching children, to caring for aging parents who are also living longer, to experiencing the beginnings of physical, psychological, and cognitive changes that come with aging, middle adults are as much in transition as their teenagers. In this chapter, we explore some of the contextual and cultural considerations of moving through the years of middle adulthood. We will anchor our discussion in the case of Ellen, a recently separated mother of one caring for her mother who finds herself in the existential crisis of “Who am I now? and “Who can I become?”
