The Psychology of Aging: Contemporary Research provides students
with engaging scholarly articles that dismantle stereotypes
commonly associated with aging and demonstrate the possibilities
for active participation in later life. The carefully chosen
readings expose students to stories of gains, losses, joys,
disappointments, and love. The book emphasizes the powerful effect
of positivity on health and well-being and shows how a sense of
control and empowerment can improve the lives of aging individuals.
The anthology is divided into three distinct sections. In Section
I, Diversity and Stereotypes of Older Adults, students learn about
ageism, how it intersects with sexism, and disparities in the
health care system for aging minorities. Section II, The
Opportunities of Aging, features readings that discuss the
transition from career to retirement, the creative arts and their
relation to brain health in later life, financial competence in
aging populations, and more. In the final section, Challenges and
Changes, students read about family caregiving, depression in elder
individuals, accommodating loss, and end-of-life preparation.
Collected to provide students with a fresh perspective regarding
aging, The Psychology of Aging is an ideal resource for courses in
psychology and gerontology.
