Dependency and Interdependency in Old Age

<p>Originally published in 1986 <i>Dependency and Interdependency in Old Age </i>presents papers from the British Society of Gerontology annual conference in 1985. The areas covered include: the sociology of ageing methodological issues evaluations of service provision ethnographies of growing old historical studies and political perspectives on ageing. A creative dialogue between the proponents of these themes was urgently needed at the time and it was hoped that this volume would stimulate such a discussion.</p>
