Thirty-five million Americans are living beyond the age of sixty-five, a twenty-five year increase in life expectancy since 1900. This longevity, once the gift of a few, has become the destiny of many. This time of life is not just about retiring; in fact many who retire return happily to some type of employment. It is a new stage of life filled with its own unique challenges and opportunities. Co-authors Jane and Peggy Thayer, a mother-daughter team of psychologists, have named this stage of life, 'elderescence.'

Jane Thayer closed her psychotherapy practice after 25 years in Washington, DC and moved to Martha's Vineyard in 1995. She currently has a small private practice on the Vineyard and is a trained mediator for the Martha's Vineyard Mediation Program. Dr. Thayer earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University, Washington, DC. Peggy Thayer has been a practicing painter for 30 years. Her recent landscapes portray her relationship with nature. She has been a year-round resident of Martha's Vineyard for 10 years. Her educational background includes undergraduate studies in Fine Arts as well as graduate studies in transpersonal psychology. She holds a doctorate in East/West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
