The psychology of aging usually focuses upon cognitive changes,
with a particular focus on dementia and other forms of cognitive
decline. But getting older is about more than simply changes to the
brain and related health issues. Changes to our social and
emotional lives are also hugely significant as we adapt across our
lifespan. The second edition of Aging and Development is the only
textbook available that responds to the growing interest in social,
personal and emotional development in older age. Ideally suited to
complement texts on cognitive change, the book provides a holistic
developmental perspective on aging. It highlights a range of
issues, including the development of personal meaning and
spirituality, improvements in emotional control, uses of
reminiscence and life review, the importance of healthy attitudes
to aging, as well as the maintenance of close personal
relationships. It does not avoid the difficult issues of late life
decline, but illustrates how even in circumstances of physical and
mental frailty a positive sense of self can be created and
enhanced. Fully updated to provide the most cutting-edge overview
on this burgeoning topic of interest, Aging and Development
includes a glossary and list of useful websites both on the study
of gerontology and the psychology of aging. It will be essential
reading for all students of developmental psychology, as well as
anyone either training to work or already working with older
people.
