Towards a happier old age
The Australian Psychological Society's position paper is reported by Gething et al. (2002) in “The Role of Psychologists in Fostering the Wellbeing of Older Australians”. An orientation towards “successful ageing” requires the authors to meet head-on the unfortunately dominant view of older people in the negative. They are successful in showing that the stereotype is contradicted by the evidence and may be costly in terms of life satisfaction for…

Using Lazarus' stress and coping paradigm, the study investigated…
Psychological perspectives on euthanasia and the terminally III
Following the Australian Psychological Society's discussion paper on euthanasia, some aspects of the role of psychologists, and implications for their training, are considered. The psychologist's role relates especially to practice with the elderly, research, and counselling.

Psychology and ageing in Australia
Australia has a younger population than many other countries due to a high level of immigration from overseas. However, a significant change is occurring. It is estimated that during the 1990s an increase of 38% for those over 75 and 61% for those over 85 will occur, compared with a projected growth of the total population of 12% (ABS, 1988). As the baby boom reaches old age, Australia is beginning to appreciate the necessity of acquiring informa…
