520 What constitutes a successful life? How do middle-aged men
and women who are at the pinnacle of their profession
conceptualise success? Do such men and women differ
markedly in their conceptions of what constitutes success?
Sheelagh O'Donovan-Polten provides an unprecedented window
into the most private thinking about success of four male
and four female middle-aged lawyers, each of whom is
widely recognised to be at the apex of the legal
profession in Canada. Using a phenomenological mode of
inquiry, she compiles a comprehensive profile of each
lawyer's unique construction of success and, through
inductive analysis, arrives at a composite rendition of
life-career success during middle adulthood. Extending the
lines of inquiry of Robert Kegan and Carol Gilligan and
incorporating insights of several other adult development
and career development theorists, she arrays fourteen core
attributes of life-career success within the framework of
a metaphorical scales. This sophisticated model of life-
career success enables O'Donovan-Polten to explore the
relationship between the evolution of the self during
middle adulthood and middle-aged persons'
conceptualisations of what constitutes success. Having
developed a detailed context within which the gender
factor is isolated for close scrutiny, she provides
evidence of continued institutionalised discrimination
inherent in the very language and processes of law. Rather
than ending up with attributes identified predominantly
with one gender or the other, she manages to illustrate
the complexities of gender identity in relation to
significant values and constructions of the self and of
success. Ultimately, success is shown to be a context-
dependent, multifaceted, paradoxical and ever-evolving
concept. The Scales of Success will have a great deal of
appeal to professionals working in the areas of
developmental psychology, vocational psychology, career
development, human resource development, adult education,
and related areas.
