Title

The Development And Manifestation Of Altruistic Caring: A Qualitative Inquiry

Abstract

Qualitative, phenomenological research provides rich information about the constructive, life span perspectives of the manifestation and development of altruism. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, this study investigated altruism as described by 34 older persons in a continuing care retirement community. The findings identified 13 overarching, common, emergent themes related to this construct. Implications are provided for helping professionals. © 2009 by the American Counseling Association.
