The changing life-course in British sociology

Gayle Letherby

pp. 154-172

This approach points towards the range of possibilities which may influence individual lives… and emphasizes the interlinkage between different phases of the lifecourse… using this approach we can see that an individual’s journey from birth to death is not a simple unidirectional trip, but one which has ‘false starts, changes, in direction and hidden obstacles’. (Hockey and James, 1993: 50)
