| Annotation | Most of the chapters in this collection were originally presented at the conference, "The Spiritual Tasks of Ageing: Humour and Despair in Later Life" held in Canberra, Australia in April 2003. Most of the contributors are Australian, who attempt to address some of the challenges of the ageing process: the tasks and process of spiritual development, of hope, despair and humour. Later articles develop a pastoral framework of care, for example in relation to depression, residential care, hospice care and dementia. This book has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Religious Gerontology, vol 16, nos 3/4, 2004. (RH). |
