Continuing in the tradition of the first edition, Whitbourne's
identity process model serves to integrate the physiological with a
psychological perspective. The effects of physical changes on the
individual are examined in terms of identity, as well as the impact
of identity on the interpretation of these changes. The preventive
and compensatory steps that indiviuduals can take to offset the
aging process are explored as well.
As with the first edition, a major strength of this text is the
author's illumination of complex biological concepts in a clear and
accessible style. The Second Edition includes new material focusing
on demographic statistics, chronic diseases, the biopsychosocial
perspective, and succesful aging. This edition also features new
charts, tables, and figures to highlight the text. This is an
excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in
the fields of psychology, gerontology, and social work.
