Warner Schaie and Jon Hendricks examine age-related changes and their impact upon the concept of "self" as we grow older. Each chapter is followed by two insightful commentaries by nationally recognized experts in the field. For teachers, researchers, and graduates interested in the sociology and psychology of aging."--Jacket.
