People react very differently to the process of ageing. Some people shy away from old age for as long as they can and eventually spend it reflecting on times when they were physically and mentally stronger and more independent. For others, old age is embraced as a new adventure and something to look forward to.

Additional Information
Although many elderly people have suffered losses, either of their own good health or through bereavement, most have managed to retain the most important thing – their sense of self. Quinodoz argues that growing old provides us with the opportunity to learn more about ourselves and instead of facing it with dread, it should be celebrated. This makes it an interesting read for both practising psychoanalysts and those who wish to gain a greater insight into the natural progression into later life.
