1. Growth: Adding characteristics understandings and skills to our behaviors.
2. Maintenance/Resilience:
The ability to function when faced with challenges or after suffering some sort of loss.  
3. Regulation of loss: Adapting our behaviors and adjusting our expectations by accepting a lower level of functioning (occurs more often in elderly years).
* All 3 processes are part of development from infancy to old age.]]> 2018-06-03 23:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265254608 jackson_david https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265255032 * Theory that life satisfaction comes from the fulfillment of psychological needs for the following:
1. Autonomy: feelings that one's behaviors are independent
2. Competence: expressing your talents and skills
3. Relatedness: opportunity to feel loved and valued by others
* Evidence shows that satisfaction of autonomy, competence and relatedness support our well-being. ]]> 2018-06-03 23:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265255032 jackson_david https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265255702 1.

2. Marriage occurs with a commitment to a new system and realignment of relationships. 
3. Family with young children now joins child rearing tasks and relationships include parents and grandparents roles.  
4. Family with adolescents are flexible now for child independence and grandparent frailties.
5. Launching children and moving on include children exiting the family system.  Relationships may now include in-laws and grandchildren.

Ego integrity: a review on one's life that helps the elderly feel that their life "is something that had to be," had meaning, order and dignity.
2. Career consolidation vs. self-absorption: making a commitment to work that brings personal satisfaction and is important to one's identity (mid 20's).
3. Keeping of meaning vs. rigidity: adults may move beyond making a productive contribution in order to preserve something that's a part of the culture.  
4. Life structure: the pattern of relationships between yourself and external world. Ex. spouse, family, occupation, religion.]]> 2018-06-03 23:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265257076 jackson_david https://padlet.com/jackson_david/j1wohc0fasik/wish/265257967 By understanding what stage of adulthood development a person is in counselors can help clients identify sources of happiness, closure, meaning and direction as they move through the stages of middle and late adulthood.
