Roberta Provenzano believed the study of psychology should
ultimately bring more happiness to the world. A deep thinker, she
focused particularly on aging. Her collected articles on the
subject propose to show that the myths and stereotypes of
deterioration and senility associated with old age are based on
preconceived notions rather than fact. She shows that, in spite of
some physical limitations, the elderly, who are now in greater
proportion in our society than ever before, can participate
actively and constructively in their communities.This collection,
published in honor of Provenzano, addresses age-related topics with
an expertise that seems more relevant as time passes. It explores
myths and stereotypes imposed upon the elderly, biological aspects
of aging, psychological aspects of aging, and sociological aspects
of agingRelying on scientific studies, Provenzano highlights how
older people come to terms with specific conditions of aging.
Quoting the adage "You are as old as you feel," she infers that
aging does not necessarily mean defeat and decline, but can instead
be a rewarding experience of personal fulfillment and social
contribution.
