Preferred term

adolescence and death  

Definition

  • Developmental tasks and transitions influence how adolescents face mortality, and experiences with mortality very likely influence how adolescents deal with the transitions and tasks that society expects them to complete. An early influence on developmental understandings of adolescence was provided by Peter Blos, whose notions of early, middle, and late adolescence phases of development revolve around identity formation and ego integrity.
