Abstract

In this paper we examine the relationship between 'successful ageing' and spirituality. Whilst the former has received considerable attention both as a state and as a process, the latter has been virtually ignored as a source of well-being in later life. Here we critically examine the relationship between these two concepts, based on a review of the literature, and draw conclusions for policy and practice
