Psychoanalytic Concept of the Old Man

Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue

Abstract

The article discusses ageing, old age and an old man from the perspective of psychoanalysis and transactional analysis as well as one more important element, Senior (S) or Elder (E), who will complement the Parent–Adult–Child trio (PAC), a newly proposed extension of Eric Berne’s structural diagram of personality. The paper ends with a significant conclusion that psychoanalysis has shown to an elderly man unknown dimensions and mechanisms of his personality. It indicates how to confront the ageing process and own fate.
