"This collection is a timely and excellent contribution to the
study of resilience and the field of gerontology."--Anthropology
and Aging Quarterly
This state-of-the science, multidisciplinary "Annual Review of
Gerontology and Geriatrics" provides a comprehensive examination of
critical issues on resilience in a variety of life domains central
to the well-being of older persons. It examines the role of
resilience in determining adjustment and function in the domains of
health, grief and bereavement, physical activity and functioning,
spirituality, work, retirement, intellectual/cognitive functioning,
coping with life events, care giving, and mental health
interventions.
The first section of the book addresses such domains of
resilience as immunological function, stress and mood disorders,
emotional and cognitive resilience, adjustment to cultural and
environmental changes, and spirituality. Section two is concerned
with practical applications of resilience. A developmental family
perspective is used to examine differences in adaptation to
age-related challenges. The role of resilience in geriatric
rehabilitation is discussed as is adaptive coping in regard to loss
and trauma. The text also explores resilience in regard to career
management, retirement, and volunteerism, considers resilience as a
component of health in regard to public policy, and examines
exemplary public health programs and policies and the relationship
of resilience to health care finance. Also addressed is resilience
in caregiving as a mutually beneficial process, clinical
interventions that enhance resilience, and resilience from a
lifespan developmental perspective. Key Features:
