Mary and Kenneth J. Gergen. Positive Aging
Description
In an interview with the Gergens, Ken talks about the Social Construction of the concept of declining with advancing years and feeling a personal challenge to change that meaning for himself. Mary discuses the pleasure she derives from undermining a popular cultural myth. Aging is a lamination of all of the skills and experiences we have had and it leads to an accumulation rather than a depletion of resources. Their online newsletter on positive aging, a research based online journal is discussed.
