| Annotation | The author explains why general practitioners (GPs) treating older people need to bear in mind the psychosocial challenges of normal ageing. The article identifies developmental tasks in late adulthood (e.g. maintenance of body image), and the nature of advice that GPs could pass on to older people. The psychological aspects of ageing also need to be considered, when managing older people's problems. (RH). |
