摘要

The article briefly reviews a stage model of change in human development that integrates a Neo-Piagetian model and a Neo-Eriksonian model into one unitary stage model across the lifespan (as presented in Young, 2011). The model suggests a generic model of stages in change. The article explores the fundamental assumptions underlying the model as well as considering meta-issues. The article adds to the book by describing the Neo-Eriksonian stages as reflections of a social "participatory" process. It adds to the change process in development by describing it as possibly reflecting "punctuated disequilibrium." Finally, it adds a "multiple psychodynamics" model.
