Description

This handbook focuses on the key areas in the psychology of ageing:

  • Problems associated with later life development and change
  • Emotional problems and depression associated with loss of physical health and with losses and changes in the areas of social relationship and personal identity
  • The important clinical context of service delivery, including community care, family care-giving and institutional aspects
  • A broad range of therapeutic orientations, including cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, and family therapy approaches.
"It is hard to do justice to the breadth of material in this book...I have found the reading of it both stimulating and enlightening, despite believing that I was familiar with most of the topics, and have no doubt that I will be using it for reaching and reference purposes into the next millennium... if there is one book a Clinical Psychologist working with older people needs...this is it!"
Steve Boddington, International Journal of Social Psychiatry
