| Annotation | Studies on ageing reflect the losses inherent in the ageing process. How the ageing process is viewed, either as a loss or as a natural process of living, may affect the adaptation by late-midlife women to life changes. Self-transcendence is a means of broadening one's perspective of the inner being. Self-transcendence is defined as the capacity to reach out beyond oneself and discover or make meaning of experience through broadened perspectives and behaviour. This article explores the meaning of life transitions, the role of life-course development, self-transcendence, and creativity in the evolution of the inner being as women age. (KJ) |
