| Annotation | The developmental aspects of ageing are emphasised, and themes concentrate on continued development and adaptation to change. The book is arranged in three parts, each containing a theory chapter and a research chapter. Part 1 considers normative developmental theories of ageing, including the classic accounts of ageing of Carl Jung and Erik Erikson. Part 2 is on ageing and adaptation, including adjustments to loss and change. Part 3 is on advanced old age, also called the "fourth age", and relates to life in states of physical and/or mental frailty, and to the survival of the self in these circumstances. (RH). |
