TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Mid-adult development and psychopathology JO - American journal of psychiatry A1 - Stein, S. P. A1 - Holzman, S. A1 - Karasu, T. B. A1 - Charles, E. S. SP - 676 EP - 681 VL - 135 IS - 6 N2 - The authors studied a group of 193 psychiatric outpatients with varying diagnoses and a comparison group of 136 nonpatients across nine measures: sense of self; feelings about marriage, sex, career, and leisure time; relationship to parents, friends, and children; and sense of time passing. They found significant differences between the groups at specific ages in the areas of sense of self, feelings about career and sex, and relationship to parents, children, and friends. They discuss these results with a view toward identifying and elucidating normal and pathological factors in the adult life cycle.
