Beyond Gender Differences : Adaptation To Aging In Life Course Perspective

Attribution
Laurie Russell Hatch
Publication Details
Book, Baywood Pub, 2000
Description
Questions surrounding adaptation to aging and how adaptation can best be achieved have been of central concern in gerontology. Beyond Gender Differences: Adaptation to Aging in Life Course Perspective shows the need to move beyond a focus on gender differences, toward a life course perspective on adaptation to aging. Substantive chapters examine adaptation to aging as a broad and cumulative process (Chapter 3) and the two life events that have been thought to pose the greatest challenges to adaptation in older age: The death of a spouse (Chapter 4) and retirement (Chapter 5).
