Synopsis

Excerpt from Adjusting to Old Age: A Perspective for Chaplain Counseling Ministry; The United States Army Chaplain School and Center, a Research Paper Submitted to the Faculty for Partial Fulfillment of the Writing Course Requirement

Old age and man's perpetual quest for youth has capti vated the attention of the people in the professions of medicine, religion, and philosophy from the earliest times. Today, there is a rapidly growing interest in old age in the United States and other technically advanced nations of the world. An increasing number of specialists-among them physicians, social workers, sociologists, clergymen, educators, architects-are devoting their talents and energies to the study of man in his later life. Ageism has joined racism and sexism as the triplet problems facing our modern society toward which the talents and energies of modern man can be focused toward a solution.

Two particular areas of discipline have arisen in the study of old age. One area of discipline, a Special branch of medicine called Geriatrics was fathered by the American, Mascher, around the year Although the word Geriatrics is in a respectable middle age, it is only in the last decade or so that Geriatrics has come into general usage. For today, the physical disorders of older people constitute an essential area of general medicine.
