5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a superb text for all helping professionals., January 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Aging and Mental Health: Positive Psychosocial and Biomedical Approaches (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I used an earlier edition of this text during my own doctoral training. That it has been revised and updated speaks to its excellence as a comprehensive text covering all aspects of aging and mental health. I will be using this text in my counseling classes because it is chock full of useful information, (practical, medical, and psychological,) and emphasizes " the dignity and worth of each individual irrespective of age." Professional counselors, psychologists, and all those who work with aging adults need to read this book and keep it as a ready reference. As the population ages we need to understand the special needs and attributes of older adults, as well as how aging is viewed in a diverse society.
