Levinson's Seasons of Life
Captions available
The idea
Daniel Levinson described an early adult transition, about seventeen to twenty-two, and an era of life goals, leaving home, career and marriage, aided by a mentor.
In practice
Levinson's later study of women finding greater obstacles in reconciling career and family, and few female mentors.
Where people slip
Levinson's work drew on small samples of similar ages, and critics raise cohort effects.
