Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Gerontologists and other medical professionals join social scientists to investigate how social structures impact age-related changes in self-conception. After broadly examining the constructs of well-being and sense of self, they focus on specific societal domains, including family, work status, health care, social policy, and social values. The six papers and two commentaries on each are edited from presentations at an October 1998 conference at Pennsylvania State University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
