Social Services and the Kin Network: Views of the Elderly.

Cicirelli, Victor G.

Journal of Home Economics, v72 n3 p34-37 Fall 1980

Results of a study of the elderly in one community show that they place a high value on self-reliance and independence. Social planners should make use of these values to motivate the elderly to become more receptive to programs designed to help them to help themselves. (CT)
