| Annotation | Comment on the article by P S Fry in this issue of the Counseling Psychologist criticises his use of discredited social theories. Atchley notes that terms such as disengagement, activity and continuity have not been used in a very careful way in the gerontology literature. The role of counsellors working with older people is to help them find new ways of coping with and adapting to new situations. (RH). |
