Abstract

The title of this volume in The Course of Life series is a misnomer, inasmuch as more than half of the book has nothing to do with “Late Adulthood.” While almost all of the contributions are interesting, the volume itself does not hold together.

George Vaillant and Sara Koury's article, “Late Midlife Development,” addresses the controversy over whether personality does or does not change in adult life. They focus on the later Eriksonian tasks of generativity (specifically the subset entitled “keeper of the meaning”)
