Summary The task of this conference is to develop a set of policy recommendations to guide our discipline in the coming years as we strive to prepare psychologists to work with older people. It is rare for any discipline to have the opportunity to draw upon such immensely varied expertise as that gathered here this week to formalize such a statement. Seven major topics were addressed by about 100 participants in separate work groups of approximately 13-15 persons, made up of psychologists in general, geropsychologists, nonpsychology gerontologists, and consumers--including agency representatives, students, and elderly persons. The group topics included training; curriculum; continuing education, retraining, and in-service education; recruitment and retention; services and settings; psychosocial knowledge base; and biopsychological knowledge base. Over a 5-day period, the groups discussed their assigned topics with the goal of formulating recommendations that would address significant aspects of the topics and provide action plans by which the recommendations could be realized.
