| Synopsis: |
This text critically assesses notions of adult ageing as they affect people's lifestyles and their sense of personal and social identity. Simon Briggs examines the interpretation of these changes within social theory and their implications for practice in therapy and in health and welfare settings. His argument develops a number of key concepts, and begins by assessing notions of change arising from psychodynamic and postmodern perspectives on ageing. Whilst these ideas shape our understanding, the study of ageing itself challenges easy theoretical assumptions about adult identity. The author critically assesses the contribution of these key perspectives and develops a model for combining the inner world of the mature imagination with the possibilities and uncertainties inherent in contemporary social life. |
