Life and Death: Our Relationship with Ageing, Dementia, and Other Fates of Time

Life and Death considers ageing and mortality from a psychoanalytic perspective and from the point of view of the individual, the couple, and the family. The book grounds a psychoanalytic approach to understanding later life as a key point of developmental challenge for us all.
