From "Forgotten and Ignored" to Standards and Certification: Gerontological Counseling Comes of Age.
Myers, Jane E.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v74 n2 p143-49 Nov-Dec 1995

The question of whether generalization or a specialization will best serve the needs of older persons continues to be central to the development of this specialization. (JPS)
