International Psychogeriatrics, 08/31/09
Kjolseth I et al. – On the basis of the descriptions of the elderly people given in this study, the authors argue that these individuals will find difficulty in accepting and adapting to age–related loss of function since their self–esteem is so strongly associated with being productive and in control. Loss of control reveals their vulnerability – and this they cannot tolerate.
