title: Later life transitions and changes in psychiatry.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to discuss some concerns that today's psychiatrists are likely to experience in the later stages of their careers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  When changes associated with ageing begin to make their presence felt, there is a need to come to terms with them. For many psychiatrists this may generate a surprising creativity. Psychiatrists also need to come to terms with a paradigm change that has taken place in psychiatric practice. This paper, one of a series that captures a broad perspective on ageing, was solicited (by the Members Engagement Committee) to specifically capture the psychotherapist's view of later life transitions.
