Rezensionen
PsycCritiques, June 2015
"What does the future hold for us as we age? Most of us have difficulty thinking of ourselves as aging, no matter how old we are. In this lively, engaging book, Great Myths of Aging, Erber and Szuchman remind us that we are aging every minute of every day. Almost all of us hold ageist stereotypes, even as we know that we will become a part of this often stigmatized group. Psychologists and laypeople alike are familiar with the commonly held ageist beliefs, those that involve the asexual, grouchy old man or woman living in a nursing home waiting for death. Erber and Szuchman not only identify and "bust" these more common myths, but cleverly identify at least 35 additional fallacies, replacing them with authoritative information."
