Abstract
Three different uses of the term student development-humanism, complexity, and developmental stage theory-are reviewed. The latter is thought to be th e most fruitful for the use of student personnel work. Two examples of the use of stage or hierarchal developmental theory for making changes in stude nt personnel structures are described.
