A Role-Based Approach to Adult Development: The Triple-Helix Model

Abstract: The triple-helix role model presented in this article offers a synthesized developmental approach to the understanding and study of adulthood. It incorporates three major roles: family, work, and self, each powered by the drive for self-esteem. This conceptualization of adult development processes accommodates a wide range of possible patterns and varied timing of life events relative to career options, family and relationship choices, and emphasis on self-development. Because it is becoming increasingly diffi… Show more

“…Midlife researchers have echoed Waterman in their calls for greater recognition of the importance of understanding adult development in the context of multiple roles (Archer, 1992;Hornstein, 1986;Josselson, 1987;Juhasz, 1989).

“…We hope that the imaginations of other scholars are stimulated by our journey through the terrain of generativity and social roles.

For example, workers are now much less likely than they once were to spend their entire occupational careers with a single employer.…”

“…Antipsychotic medication can improve psychotic symptoms; however, this does not consistently translate into improved psychosocial outcomes (Tohen et al, 2000). The fact that schizophrenia onsets in adolescence or early adulthood, a time when identity is more fluid and vulnerable to change (Erikson, 1968; Juhasz, 1989), underscores the importance of developing interventions that promote a “healthy sense of self” rather than a stigmatized “sick” identity.…”
