Abstract
Twenty-five residents (sixty-nine to ninety-three years old) of two Israeli homes for the elderly were investigated in order to see if there was a correlation between the creative attitude (self-actualizing personality) and the way of coping with the process of aging and attitude toward death. The results showed that the more creative-actualizing a personality, the better the coping with aging phenomena and the less denial of death.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
