Schlossberg

Schlossberg, in a psychological context, refers to Dorothy S. Schlossberg’s Transition Theory, which explains how individuals cope with change and life events. It emphasizes that transitions—such as starting a new job, moving, or retiring—are complex processes involving shadows of past experiences, current circumstances, and future expectations. The theory highlights the importance of personal resources (like skills, support, and attitudes) and the environment in helping people navigate these changes successfully. Overall, Schlossberg’s framework provides insight into understanding and managing life's transitions more effectively.
