摘要
The theory of gerotranscendence provides a lens counselors can use to view the aging process across the life span and the potential need for counseling services for aging individuals. The authors conducted this study to understand the experience of gerotranscendence among older adults. Thirteen descriptive psychosocial factors were examined in relation to gerotranscendence from data gathered through a 79-question survey. The limitations of the study, implications for counseling practice, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
