Developmental Tasks were briefly discussed in our text book “the notion of maturity, a state of being that is needed to meet the psychological tasks of adulthood”. The text outlines the characteristics of maturity: Extended sense of self, concern for others, participation in different dimensions of outside environment. Ability to relate warmly to others: bonds of intimacy treat others with sensitivity. Self acceptance combined with a sense of emotional security. The ability to show tolerance to frustration. Having an accurate representation of reality and being able to act accordingly. The ability to develop meaningful goals while working to reach them combined with a unifying philosophy on life. (McGuire, A., Boyd, R., Tedrick, R., 2004)
