Gerontology, spirituality, and religion.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Traces the development of religious gerontology, particularly as it has moved from its positivistic approach to its present phenomenological emphases. Opines that religion reframes reality and therefore tends to reduce suffering. Claims that to the extent one can reconcile one's self-definition with one's religious worldview, anxiety levels will be determined.
