SYNOPSIS: The years between 18 and 50 are the center of life, a time of growth and opportunity. But until now no guide has existed to help us understand the mysterious process by which we become adults. Studies of child development have plotted every nuance of growth and given us comforting labels such as the "Terrible Twos" and the "Noisy Nines." Yet what Gesell and Spock did for children hasn't been done for us adults. Whenever psychologists do address themselves to adult life, it is in terms of its "problems"--rarely from the perspective of continuing changes throughout the life cycle. But now a new concept of adult development has begun to emerge. -and-What does it mean to be an adult? How do we learn to keep growing? Childhood and adolescence have been exhaustively documented, but after adolescence we are left to flounder in uncharted territory. Now Gail Sheehy identifies the predictable crises of adult life: Pulling Up Roots--the painful exit from the safety of home, the division between self and parents. The Trying Twenties--our first tentative stands as adults when all things seem possible. The Catch-Thirties--in which life commitments are made, broken, or renewed; and the couple faces dis-harmony that can lead to expansion. The Midlife Crisis of the Forties--dangerous years when we confront the loss of youth, the fading purpose of old roles, career changes, sexual disequilibrium, spiritual dilemmas, but also find the greatest opportunity for self-discovery and renewal. Gail Sheehy, an author whose investigative reporting has won numerous prizes, set herself three objectives in writing this pioneering book: to locate the personality changes common to each stage of life; to compare the developmental rhythms of men and women--which she found strikingly un-synchronized; and, in light of this, to examine the crises that couples can anticipate. Which passages cause one partner to put an extra strain on the other? How do their needs and dreams change with age? Drawing on three years of painstaking research and 115 in-depth interviews, Gaily Sheehy goes beyond the academicians to reveal both the internal and external forces acting on all of us. This humane, widescreen view of adulthood speaks eloquently to men and women, to couples and singles, to "wunderkinds" and late bloomers, to careerists and homemakers. It is the only book that brings together a coherent vision of the passages we must all take through the Twenties, Thirties, and Forties toward what is potentially the best of life. Educated at the University of Vermont and Columbia University, Gail Sheehy received an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship to study adult development. Her books (Hustling, Panthermania, etc. ) and magazine articles for New York, McCall's, The New York Times Magazine have won major national awards, including the 1975 University of Missouri Magazine Award for articles developed from this book.
