This book provides practical evidence-based strategies that will
help clinicians across a broad range of disciplines to address and
discuss the main issues an aging person is likely to face and
overcome if they are to maintain a sense of well-being as they age.
Based on an extensive body of research, the relevant up-to-date
knowledge for each topic is concisely presented, followed by
practical, concrete, evidence-based suggestions as to how a
healthcare provider might acknowledge and create a partnership with
their clients to help the person increase their sense of
well-being. Each chapter contains a list of key terms, a summary,
and case examples that illustrate in realistic and humanistic ways
how a person might present the concern being addressed and
intervene. The specific challenges associated with aging that are
addressed include: anxiety attached to an increasing awareness of
mortality; retirement; the increasing number of losses of
significant others; regrets; memory loss; the arrival of old-old
age and feelings of loneliness, mattering insufficiently, and a
loss of purpose; and finally, dealing with imminent death. This
book is suitable for all health professionals who provide clinical
services or advice to older adults including physicians (i.e.
particularly in the specialties of internal medicine, family
medicine, geriatrics, and geriatric psychiatry), nurses, social
workers, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, and audiologists.
