The purpose of this social work research project is to inquire into the life situations and personal adjustment patterns of a group of eighteen elderly Jewish men and women who have immigrated to Canada during their adult life. In approaching the study the writers will attempt to evaluate the life functioning of these patients from a three-dimensional focus. They will evaluate the patient as a physical organism, as a group member in society, and as a personality within a culture, and attempt to explore the interactions between these three areas of functioning.
