Toward a Psychosocial Prescription for Healthy Aging

Also, she is conducting longitudinal studies to examine long-term predictors of mental and physical health, as well as intervention studies to improve performance and adaptation to problems of aging. Her program designed to increase control over falls has already been widely adopted.
A graduate of Boston University, Margie earned her advanced degrees at Pennsylvania State University. She is he Minnie and Harold Fierman Professor of Psychology at Brandeis and also
Director of the Lifespan Developmental Psychology Lab and the Boston Roybal Center for Active Lifestyle Interventions. She was editor of the Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and has edited two volumes on midlife development. A member of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
