This collection highlights the current efforts by scholars and
researchers to understand the aging process as it relates to the
health of older adults. With contributions from international
scholars in communication, psychology, public health, medicine,
nursing, and other areas, this volume emphasizes communication as a
critical research, education, policy, and practice issue for the
design, provision, and evaluation of health and social services for
older adults. Organized into sections addressing communication
developments in the healthcare arena, issues in provider-patient
communication, and the relationships between family communication
and health. The chapters cover critical topics related to
successful aging, such as Alzheimer's disease, managed care and
older adults, communication issues of severe dementia, and
healthcare decision-making within families.
The editors have designed this volume to be accessible to a broad
audience, including scholars and students of aging and
communication, healthcare practitioners with older clients, and
aging individuals and their families who are pursuing strategies
for successful aging. The chapters represent the highest levels of
current scholarship on communication, aging, and health, providing
a strong foundation for future research. Each contribution also
addresses the applied implications of this research, offering
practical guidance to readers dealing with these issues in their
own lives. As a whole, "Aging, Communication, and Health"
represents a major advance toward understanding the importance and
application of communication for successful aging.
