A term denoting any of several types of behavior in the middle years, from the private aareness of the finitude of the life span to the life style rearrangements of career change or divorce and remarriage.
Note :
The awareness of biological decline, the irrevocability of decisions made earlier in the life cycle, possible stagnation in marriage and career, declining opportunities with advancing age: in brief, intrinsic and extrinsic causes, maturational, social and existential, contribute to change as well as to the sense of crisis in middle life.
