Personality....cont....psychology notes - Levinson

The "life structure" model - This emphasizes a plan or design for living organized around family; work.  People go through transitions whereby they re-appraise their life structure and accounts for change.

In the novice phase, a person has a dream or vision and there usually is a mentor who offers guidance and inspiration. 

In the culmination phase, a person settles down, sets his goals and achieves them.

Mid-life phase is where turmoil may ensue due to life changes and re-appraisal.
