The subject Developmental Psychology of Middle and Older Adults deals with two ages, which cover a large part of human life. The aim of the present work was to show how both ages are studied through the same principles and categories, assumed in the characterization of the preceding ages, derived from the cultural-historical approach, and their possibilities of integration in the field of Psychogerontology from Developmental Psychology, and not traditionally from Clinical or Health Psychology. As results, the main regularities of the psychological development of adulthood were presented, systematized starting from the social situation of development category. Although the different types of aging were analyzed, the emphasis was focused on older adulthood as an age of development, and its potential to promote a new image of this, free of discrimination and ageist attitudes in Psychology professionals, as a career that has a specific subject linked to demographic dynamics. It is concluded that the subject visualizes good gerontological practices in the growing issue of care in adulthood, and creates new spaces for the development and continuity of new generations of older people.
