Abstract
The twentieth century has been a time of great economic and social stress during which people have experienced war, economic depression, and the failure of philosophical sustenance. Technological discoveries, which have prolonged life, have also presented older people with problems of adjustment for which they are ill prepared. Only their remarkable capacities for adaptation, relearning, and renewal have armed them to withstand the onslaught of diminishing physiological, cultural, and social attacks.
