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. Along the course of one's life
span, we meet manifold psychic, social and biological challenges.
In such times of transition from one phase of development to the
next a great variety of adaptive strategies must be developed to
deal successfully with new inner and outer conditions.'...Growing
old is a relatively new phenomenon in the history of mankind... In
about twenty years, half the population of European countries will
be over fifty. Ageing will embrace a period of life that is at
least as long as the period of childhood, youth and professional
qualification together.'Living at the same time as one's children,
parents, grandparents and great-grandparents harbours manifold
conflicts within the family. A prolonged life span has come into
existence in which new emphasis is placed on the quality of somatic
and psychic integrity. It is the task of psychoanalysis on the one
hand to contribute to a better understanding of psychic wellbeing
in this phase of life while stimulating more knowledge and truth
about the life lived up to now, thus maintaining psychic
equilibrium for as long as possible.'- Gabriele Junkers, from the
Editor's PrefaceContributors: Hanna Segal; Nina Coltart; Pearl
King; Harold W. Wylie Jr; Mavis L. Wylie; Tor Bjorn Hagglund; and
Erik Hamburger Erikson
