Commentary
When an author comments on the scientific value of a particular discipline, he leads the way to an insightful period of introspection. In the field of Social Gerontology, such an undertaking could stir up quite a stormy debate. F. Béland, undaunted by controversy, prepared his own review of the research conducted in Quebec in this field, addressing methodological issues, problems related to theorization, as well as the institutional development of Gerontology. The document is useful in that it highlights the elements which benefit or hinder the advancement of research in Social Gerontology.
