Applications of postformal thought are demonstrated in such diverse areas as - family relations - adult education - personal identity - and spirituality. Other sections deal with issues in humanistic psychology such as - guided imagery - mind - body medicine - and creative intentionality.

A landmark contribution to chronic pain literature, this contemporary text measures the intricate relationship between chronic pain and life transition events. Drawing on nearly 20 years of research, the authors bring together the epidemiological and psychosocial aspects of chronic pain and suggest expanding options for pain management.

Variables including race, gender, economic status, and political and religious affiliation are considered in the discussion of such human issues as - love and marital relations - economic concerns, including employment and living conditions - violence in its various forms, including crime and war - aging and death.

The author proposes a theory of the development of consciousness in which ego is the central agent of socialization and culture and the driving force behind individual self-control and self-regulation. and discusses the evidence indicating that the development of consciousness trancends the limitations of conventional ego development.

The psychological body also becomes weaker, with unfulfilled promises and expectations, and with tragedies that visit individuals and families, and the prospect that whatever worlds remain to be conquered will most certainly not be met with success in the rapidly passing days and years that can only culminate in death.

Moreover, since 12% of older adults in the community are estimated to have diagnosable psychiatric disorders and 40% to 50% of older adult medical inpatients have a concomitant psychiatric disorder, the task for clinicians in the next century will be overwhelming.

For example, in the cases of fathers, we note that humans do not reproduce alone; Much of the discourse and publication on fathers during the past several decades has been posited on a "more is better" model of male parenting in which it is seldom stated who it is better for-the father, the child, the mother, the couple, or the family.

In the first part, chapters cover a historical perspective, clinical geropsychology and U.S. federal policy, psychodynamic issues, and other key topics. Part III considers such special issues as family caregiving, minority issues, physical activity, and elder abuse and neglect.

This volume proposes a theoretical integration of several major streams in contemporary psychological theory about adult development and therapy. The neopiagetian model of development on which the current ap proach is based proposes that the last stage in development concerns collective intelligence, or postmodern, postformal thought.

The personal data were found to fit the image clusters closely: for example, images with little form and much narration were produced by people with strong compensatory longings, while dense, collaged images were made by participants who exercised relentless control over one major issue in their life.

I first met Ernest Furchtgott twenty-five years ago after joining the faculty of the College of Social Work at the University of South Carolina.

An unusually understandable survey of the forces or perception and feeling that determine the purchases we make; and the psychological needs that they fulfill. Research based throughout, it shows how ads use classical conditioning, harnessing psychological motivation to create image and sell products.

This volume explores the strengths and opportunities of old age as these are manifested by the accomplishments of aging artists, late artistic works, and elderly arts audiences.

This volume is an outgrowth ofcontemporary research on development over the adult lifespan, which by now has burgeoned and developed both nationally and internationally.

Brings together diverse strategies and methodologies as well as theoretical formulations involving psychodynamic, behavioral, psychosocial, and biological systems as they relate to aging and health. This book covers the theory construction, empirical research, treatment, and multidisciplinary program development.
