Gerontological Social Work in Action introduces "anti-oppression
gerontology" (AOG), a critical approach to social work with older
adults, their families, and communities. AOG principles are applied
to direct and indirect practice and a range of topics of relevance
to social work practice in the context of a rapidly aging and
increasingly diverse world. Weaving together stories from diverse
older adults, theories, research, and practical tools, this unique
textbook prompts social workers to think differently and push back
against oppressive forces. It pays attention to issues, realities,
and contexts that are largely absent in social work education and
gerontological practice, including important developments in our
understanding of age/ism; theories of aging and social work; sites
and sectors of health and social care; managing risk and frailty;
moral, ethical and legal questions about aging including medical
assistance in dying; caregiving; dementia and citizenship; trauma;
and much more. This textbook should be considered essential reading
for social work students new to or seeking to specialize in aging,
as well as those interested in the application of anti-oppressive
principles to working with older adults and researching later life.
