While "disengagement theory" is today largely discounted, it has an important place in the history of gerontological explanation. First we analyze the historical context of this theory. Second, we examine its long-term contributions and deficiencies in terms of finer criteria--standards which we suggest should be used in evaluating current, and future, theories in social gerontology.
虽然“脱离理论”如今在很大程度上已不被认可,但它在老年学解释的历史中占有重要地位。首先,我们分析该理论的历史背景。其次,我们依据更精细的标准审视其长期贡献和不足之处,这些标准是我们认为在评估社会老年学当前及未来理论时应采用的。
