El ciclo vital: marco de comprensión para la etapa de la vejez

Abstract

English

El presente trabajo presenta una puesta al día del solapamiento entre la orientació n del ciclo vital y la psicogeronto logía. En él aparecen recogidas algunas de las características más destacadas del enfoque de la psicología del desarrollo a lo largo de la vida, así como aquéllas más específicas del proceso de envejecimiento. El planteamiento que se propugna es que la perspectiva del ciclo vital puede constituir una buena marco de comprensión para el correcto entendimiento psicológico de la vejez, considerada ésta desde sus distintas vertientes complementarias: intelectiva, afectiva, social y de la personalidad.
