Human Life cycle
This paper suggests that in
general, eight distinct stages exist in human life. In identifying and exploring each stage attention is drawn to the
particular biological, psychological or social
factors that appear to precipitate or define it. In what we believe to be a novel and important step, the idea is developed
that each new stage brings its own
characteristic conflict; one that can only be successfully surmounted through some synthesis of the opposed forces which the person
concerned typically then faces.
