About This Book
The aging process is subtle and constant, from the moment of birth to the end of life; yet many people conceptualize it as a perceptible - if distant - event. Assembling works from distinguished professionals in such disciplines as gerontology, psychology, and the health sciences, Promoting Successful and Productive Aging offers a thoughtful assessment of our expectations, experiences, and requirements as we become older.
Emphasizing a proactive strategy, the contributors define primary prevention within a life span perspective, examine the social construction of ageism, and discuss the demographics of successful aging. A wide range of biological and psychosocial issues is explicitly addressed, from chronic disease and dementia to autonomy and diversity within the older population.
. Addressing the needs and concerns of the most rapidly growing segment of society, this comprehensive work will be an excellent resource for advanced students and practitioners alike.
