Human development is a continuous process. It does not end when a person reaches physical maturity. It continues throughout life. Developmental psychologists seek to describe and analyze the regularities of human development across the entire life span and focuses on those aspects of development that make us similar to one another (Atkinson, 1993).

This paper will focus on the case study of an adolescent in relation to the cognitive, psycho sexual, psycho social, ego, and moral reasoning theories.
