Riassunto

This volume examines positive development across adulthood with particular emphasis on postformal thought. The editors acknowledge that researchers have compiled a substantial body of descriptive evidence about the styles of thinking used by adults under certain conditions. The contributors, reflecting a diversity of backgrounds, assumptions, disciplines, and methods, describe postformal thought and its correlates from physiological, psychological, sociological, anthropological, and clinical perspectives.
