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