| Annotation | This paper treats long-term care planning from a cultural perspective, that is, as a cultural system in which components of long-term care interlock culturally and meaningfully. In the introduction and background sections, a context is provided in which long-term care planning may be viewed, based on the finding that relatively few people take advantage of long-term care planning and insurance. The authors discuss some earlier work on long-term care from a psychological perspective that emphasizes themes of imagination and self-efficacy. They then examine long-term care from a cultural perspective, by identifying and explicating five broad themes that help us better understand the meaning of long-term care planning to Americans. Finally, these themes are used to suggest some important social policy correlates. (KJ/RH). |
