經歷老年與過渡晚年生活
Aging and Late-life transition

美國人口普查局預測，到2030年，美國20%的人口將達到65歲或以上，而於此會談當年(2014) 這項比例為13%。在不到30年的時間裡，這個國家將有1900萬85歲或以上的成年人，而當年只有550萬。經歷老年一直是人類經歷的一部分。但人們處理這一階段的生活方式似乎存在巨大差異。和我一起探討變老和適應晚年問題的是 Carrie Barone博士。

Barone博士自2000年以來一直擔任持牌專業顧問。她在華盛頓特區的喬治華盛頓大學獲得了輔導博士學位。她目前在私人執業，並在博域家庭研究中心任教務委員，以及在華盛頓特區喬治華盛頓大學輔導和人類發展系兼職教授。 Barone博士對她的博士論文進行了題為「晚年身份：智慧與關懷倫理之間的關係」的研究。

As predicted by the US Census Bureau, by the year 2030 20% of the population in the United States will be 65 years and older, compared with the 13% in 2014. In less than 30 years there will be 19 million adults 85 and older in this country, compared to the 5.5 million we have today. Aging has always been part of the human experience; but there appears to be a huge variance in the way people deal with this stage of life. Joining me to explore the issue of aging and late-life adaptation is Dr. Carrie Barone.

Dr. Barone has practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2000. She earned her Ph.D. in counseling from The George Washington University in Washington, DC. Currently she is in private practice and on the faculty at the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family Clinic and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Counseling and Human Development at The George Washington University, Washington, DC. Dr. Barone conducted quantitative research on positive aging titled: Late Life Identity: the Relations Between Wisdom and Ethics of Care for her Doctoral dissertation.
