This book brings together a selection of classic psychoanalytical
papers related to ageing, dying and death that have appeared in the
renowned International Journal of Psychoanalysis (IJP). Two papers
address the analysis of an elderly patient directly and bring the
work and the challenges it brings vividly to life. Also explored
are such issues as death and the midlife crisis, loneliness and the
ageing process, ageing and psychopathology, fear of death,
transference and countertransference issues, and the final stage of
the dying process. 'The idea behind this monograph is to alert
interested psychoanalysts, students and those working from an
interdisciplinary standpoint to the possibility of a better
understanding of the ageing process as well as a group of potential
analysis that seem to exist in the shadow of our professional
communications. 'Each stage of life has its own somatic and psychic
normality as well as pathology.
