Vital involvement in old age
Product features
The author's concept of the life cycle delineates eight stages of psychological development through which each of us progresses. The last stage, old age, challenges the individual to rework the past while remaining involved in the present. To determine how the elderly in our time are meeting this challenge, the authors spent several years interviewing octogenarians on whom life history data had been collected. What emerges is a remarkable portrait of the experience of old age.
