Abstract
In our society, medical care and economic progress have improved the duration and quality of life, but aging is accelerated by social norms and their psychological introjection. Healthy aging involves the continuing pursuit of creative activity. Changes in self‐view and behavior will require and promote a change in social roles, and the emancipatory mobilization of senior adults of both sexes and all classes.
