Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Empathizing With the Aged
The picture of the aged most often conveyed by the media is that of a doddering old man shuffling a few blocks from his home to spend a few hours seated in the park. He returns home by the same route, quietly eh ters the house and attempts to stay out of the way of the younger members of the household. The womanmho has completed more than the traditional three score years, is visualized as the animation of Whister's Mother. She rocks in her chair with a faraway look. These stereotypes today are out of touch with reality. In 1975 a person can be advanced in years but be very young in spirit. It is not uncommon today for an elderly persm to be at the very core of socialypolitical and cultural activi ties.
