"Despite the undeniable physical, psychological, and social effects of aging, writes Robert C. Atchley, most older persons cope quite well and find considerable satisfaction in their later years. Part of the explanation for this finding is based on what Atchley calls continuity - the ability of older persons to maintain a strong sense of purpose and self in the face of the changes associated with aging. Continuity can help individuals evolve psychologically and socially in the presence of life events such as retirement, widowhood, and physical disability." "Drawing on data from a twenty-year longitudinal study that began with more than 1,200 individuals, Continuity and Adaptation in Aging explains one of the primary underlying forces that promotes effective adaptation to the aging process. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in gerontology and adult development."--BOOK JACKET.
