On Old Age. A Conversation with Joan Erikson at 90. 1
Description
"Wisdom and integrity are something that other people may see in an old person, but it's not what that old person is feeling." In this program, Joan M. Erikson offers a frank and personal reexamination of the last stage of the life cycle - a stage she believes that she and her husband, Erik H. Erikson, tended to romanticize when they formulated their eight-stage life cycle theory decades earlier. With grace, humor, and some feistiness, Mrs. Erikson takes on a range of topics, including forgetfulness, coping with physical limitations, and facing death. The video is a thought-provoking experience for everyone interested in developmental psychology and for all who live or work with an older person.
