Abstract
By following disorders over time, particularly into later life, by studying changes with aging and in older persons, new findings and clues emerge. These new leads can add to our understanding (or perhaps force us to re-examine basic theoretical constructs) of mental illness and its treatment as well as development and growth, relevant not just to the elderly, but to people in general. Research on aging and later life can provide new pieces to the puzzle of the human condition.Keywords
