This book is about my work with twentysomethings, as a clinical psychologist in private practice in Charlottesville, Virginia, and as a clinical professor at the University of Virginia, and previously as a clinician in Berkeley, California, and a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley.

The Defining Decade PDF – Meg Jay

Throughout these pages, I do my best to tell the personal, and sometimes poignant, stories of the clients and students who taught me about the twenty-something years. To protect their privacy, I have changed their names and the details of their lives.

In many cases, I have created composites from those with similar experiences and with whom I had similar sessions and conversations. I hope every twentysomething who reads this book sees him or herself in the stories I include, but a resemblance to any particular twentysomething is coincidental.

When Kate started therapy, she had been waiting tables and living—and fighting—with her parents for more than a year. Her father called to schedule her first appointment, and both of them presumed that father-daughter issues would come quickly to the fore. But what most struck me about Kate was that her twenties were wasting away.

Having grown up in New York City, at age twenty-six and now living in Virginia, she still did not have a driver’s license, even though this limited her employment opportunities and made her feel like a passenger in her own life. Not unrelated to this, Kate was often late to our appointments.
