As our global demographic shifts towards an increasingly aging
population, we have an opportunity to transform how we experience
and think about getting older and embrace the diversity and
contribution that this population can bring to society. The
International Handbook of Positive Aging showcases the latest
research and theory into aging, examining the various challenges
faced by older adults and the ways in which we can bring a
much-needed positive focus towards dealing with these. The handbook
brings together disparate research from medical, academic, economic
and social community fields, with contributions from NHS partners,
service users, universities across the United Kingdom and
collaborations with international research leaders in the field of
aging. Divided into sections, the first part of the book focuses on
introducing the concept of positive aging before going on to cover
the body over the life course, well-being and care delivery. All
contributors recognise the fact that we are living longer, which is
providing us with a tremendous opportunity to enjoy and flourish in
healthy and fulfilling later lives, and this focus on the
importance of patient empowerment is integral to the book. This is
a valuable reference source for those working in developmental
psychology, clinical psychology, mental health, health sciences,
medicine, neuropsychological rehabilitation, sociology,
anthropology, social policy and social work. It will help encourage
researchers, professionals and policymakers to make the most of
opportunities and innovations to promote a person's sense of
independence, dignity, well-being, good health and participation in
society as they get older.
