Introduction
Summary and Assessment

From the Paper:

"The focus of my interview was on the way that certain aspects and events had affected the life development of the individual in question. In other words, my aim was to ascertain through the interview questions which events and circumstance had been 'life-changing', in both a psychological and sociological sense. In order to limit the interview to a reasonable time, I also decided to focus more on socio-cultural developmental aspects and on the interviewees later years and developmental issues after sixty years of age. Furthermore, aspects that were highlighted in the interview were researched to ascertain if there were references in the literature to these aspects."
