Knowing how to live a long, happy and healthy life is a universal desire of humankind. Adaptation and Well-Being is a narrative of the human journey from the formation of identity and developing a healthy self-concept, to end of life issues of death and dying. Combining psychological, evolutionary and sociological approaches, the author interprets research from various stages of human development and adaptation. The focus of the book is on how to meet the challenges of life and achieve optimal health and well-being. It is valuable reading for students on life-span courses in counselling and therapy, developmental psychology and social gerontology, tertiary courses such as social work/ social welfare and nursing, and practitioners in these fields.
