Psychological effects of disengagement from a work life and the transition to retirement are to be discussed in this course. These effects include partial identity loss, decision paralysis, diminished self trust, experience of a post retirement void, the search for meaningful engagement in society, development of a retirement/life structure, the confluence of aging and retirement, death anxiety, the critical nurturing of social relationships and self actualization. Some aspects of pre-retirement life that can be predictive of a successful transition are also presented. This course is relevant for future and extant retirees, counsellors and retirement advisors, with clients who are planning to retire or have retired.
