Get a wealth of information about the theory and practice of social
work with older adults, their families, and their caregivers!
Although there is a considerable amount of writing on both group
work and social work with the elderly, there is surprisingly little
about applying this practice method to this specific age group.
Group Work and Aging: Issues in Practice, Research, and Education
fills this gap by presenting penetrating articles about a mutual
aid approach to working with diverse groups of older adults with
varied needs. Respected experts and gifted researchers provide case
studies, practice examples, and explanation of theory to illustrate
this practice method with aging adults, their families, and their
caregivers. Group Work and Aging: Issues in Practice, Research, and
Education discusses in-depth information on group work with gay and
lesbian elders, caregivers, elders with Alzheimer's disease,
service providers, special populations such as Vietnamese and
Latino/a elders, and provides information on the use of expressive
therapies like art, drama, and dance. Each well-referenced chapter
presents high quality, up-to-date social group work practice
strategies to prepare practitioners for the needs of the growing
population of elderly in the near future. Group Work and Aging:
Issues in Practice, Research, and Education discusses: the
adaptation of group work practice approaches when working with
older group members the use of a Record of Service as an analytical
tool in group work with aging lesbians a chronicle of a student's
field placement at a drop-in center for homeless senior citizens
the sociocultural reality of the Asian immigrant elderly
residential substance abuse treatment for older adults mutual aid
groups for older persons with mental illness the relationship
between caregiver support groups and the marker framework of family
caregiving telephone caregiver support groups group work
interventions with elderly parents of adults with severe mental
illness a program for the development and implementation of an
intergenerational singing group support groups as an effective
therapy at end-of-life the use of a mutual aid group with home
attendants and much more! Group Work and Aging: Issues in Practice,
Research, and Education reveals the latest examples of good group
work practice with aging adults and their support systems, perfect
for practitioners, educators, and anyone interested in and/or work
with older adults.
