Description
The motto of this monograph is "Every person is unique." Uniqueness is also reflected in the style of each of the authors from the extensive collective that has come together here to present the breadth of the issues surrounding the psychology of aging and old age, including the context of other gerontological disciplines and questions. The text is divided into six blocks, covering predominantly psychological, but also demographic, social, and biological aspects of aging, illness, and health. The mentioned insights reflect current knowledge and are a selection from each author from a very diverse field of theory and practice. The monograph aims to present a rich picture of the psychology of aging and old age, encourage readers to adopt a positive view of aging, and inspire professional interest in working with older adults. The book is intended for students, as well as psychologists and psychotherapists working with the senior population, and also for other helping professions.
