Introduction

Abstract

In this issue of the Journal of Russian and East European Psychology, we continue publication of the articles on psychogerontology, growing out of the joint efforts of Lydia Borozdina, Rick Scheidt, and their colleagues, that we began in the previous issue. As before, each of the two articles from this psychogerontology series presented here is followed by a commentary from an American colleague. We hope that this kind of dialogic exchange can be broadened and deepened, speeding interactions among Russian and other national psychological traditions that were so long frozen by the cold war.
