5.0 out of 5 stars
like life- bits and pieces
This is a fascinating combination of two aged giants in developmental theory, Joan and Erik Erikson, together (as is fitting with the aged authors) a geronotologist.

This review is from: Vital Involvement in Old Age (Paperback)
This is a fascinating combination of two aged giants in developmental theory, Joan and Erik Erikson, together (as is fitting with the aged authors) a geronotologist. Like old age, it is a combination of memories of more solid, middle aged times and theories, and loose ends of current life. The stories from Berkeley seniors seems to be planted with a history- much like our lives as old people are current harvest of today and much filled memories. I found it surprizing that like my old life, new accomodations are found. In particular, the number of people interacting with dead spouses I found a welcome secret.
We can keep our old firm 50s era "science" and certainty, as yet combine with our aged experience and whimsy.
