This book focuses on the theoretical concepts of community
psychology, and its applications in day-to-day life. It discusses
the challenges that adversely affect the welfare and wellbeing of
common people and suggests community centric, evidence-based
measures to address them. Factors like new age lifestyles,
fast-paced development and an increase in occurrence of natural
calamities have been detrimental to the psychological wellbeing of
the community. This volume integrates the social, cultural,
economic, political, and environmental aspects of community
psychology to address community life-based issues which include
mental health stigma, social asymmetries, resource disparities,
disadvantaged minority groups, the differently abled, HIV/AIDS
patients, project affected people and disaster victims. Key
features of this book include: Dedicated intervention-based
chapters on mental health, physical health, differently abled
people, elderly, vulnerable children, HIV/AIDS patients, and people
affected by development projects and disasters. Focus on challenges
faced by students and school-based family counselling. Case Studies
and conceptual models for better understanding and application of
the subject. The volume will be a valuable resource to students,
researchers and teachers of Psychology, Social Work, Sociology,
Public Health, and Social Economics. It will also be an
indispensable read for social workers, NGOs, advocacy groups, and
policy makers working in the field of social upliftment.
This book presents a kaleidoscopic view of the positive layers of
ageing as well as key interventions that can help generate and
maintain positivity and well-being among the elderly. It explores
the connections of ageing with spirituality, nature and
existentialism, and leisure to encourage creativity, individuation,
happiness, and emotional detachment. It further examines various
interventions such as end-of-life care, mindfulness and yoga,
retrospection, life review, and so on, which may improve the
overall quality of life by promoting the health of the elderly
individual. The book focuses on authentic ageing, transpersonal
gerontology, the concept of the elder child, geriatric
interventions, and caregiving, and suggests practical improvements
in health and facilities for the elderly. It also covers aspects of
the inner life of the prolonged ailing or dying person from a
mental health perspective and emphasizes the value of positive
ageing. A guide to applied geriatrics and geriatric psychology,
with its simple style and clear methods in end-to-end praxis, the
book shows how mental well-being can be fostered in the elderly to
help them find meaning and purpose in old age. This book will
interest students, teachers, and researchers of psychology,
positive psychology, geropsychology and gerontological studies,
sociology and social work, public health, medical education, and
geriatric nursing. It will also be useful to practitioners
including psychologists, counsellors, gerontologists, mental health
professionals and NGOs working with the elderly, and the interested
reader.
