It locates itself at the interface of internal and external realities, exploring the lived experience of some of the most difficult things we can face in old age, such as dementia and other age-related illnesses and losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLife and Death\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychologists in practice and in training.
