Overview
Later Life deals with leading issues in the social psychology of aging. The central aims of the book are: to introduce an interpretive perspective to studies of aging, based on symbolic interactionism and phenomenology; to offer a critique of prevailing theoretical and structural-functional approaches in social gerontology; and to recognize that aging individuals are immersed in social structural contexts that have their own historical and social imperatives and dynamics.
