Part front matter for Introduction to Section IV

Extract

In the last section of this volume, contributors address ways in which stressful life events and extraordinary challenges may affect development during the adolescent transition. The study of adolescent and young adult development and functioning under challenging circumstances can help identify adaptive strategies that can become the focus of intervention efforts designed to foster adjustment. Such studies also highlight how normative developmental progressions can be altered by challenging events and circumstances (Hinshaw, 2008).

This section of the volume begins, fittingly, with the work of Stuart Hauser, who, along with his colleagues Joseph Allen and Marc Schulz, reports, in Chapter 10, the results of an extraordinary 14-year follow-up of a group of young adults who had been psychiatrically hospitalized in early adolescence. Inspired initially by the observation that some of these youth achieved unexpectedly positive outcomes in adulthood, Hauser and colleagues gave careful thought to the conceptual and methodological questions involved in defining and studying the concept of resilience. As Luthar and colleagues (1993) have argued, resilience is not a unidimensional construct, and Hauser and colleagues take this admonition to heart and construct a multidimensional model of resilience involving evidence of superior functioning in the domains of ego functioning, close relationships, attachment representations, and social competence. Furthermore, they give careful consideration to the developmental context, pointing out that following their participants over time could not be a matter of simply readministering the same measures, but rather had to take into account the changing developmental tasks during the transition to adulthood, including the need to achieve new forms of independence from parents while maintaining a connection with them.
