Description

People react very differently to the process of ageing.

Some people shy away from old age for as long as they can and eventually spend it reflecting on times when they were physically and mentally stronger and more independent.

For others old age is embraced as a new adventure and something to look forward to. In this book psychoanalyst Danielle Quinodoz highlights the value of old age and the fact that although many elderly people have suffered losses, either of their own good health or through bereavement, most have managed to retain the most important thing – their sense of self.

Quinodoz argues that growing old provides us with the opportunity to learn more about ourselves and instead of facing it with dread, it should be celebrated.

Divided into accessible chapters this book covers topics including: the internal life-historyrememberingphases of lifeanxiety about deathbeing a psychoanalyst and growing old. Throughout Growing Old the author draws on both her clinical experience of working with the elderly, and her own personal experience of growing old.

This makes it an interesting read for both practising psychoanalysts, and those who wish to gain a greater insight of the natural progression into later life.
