Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text provides a description of the physical, psychological, and social dimensions and characteristics of old age in terms of the changes and transitions that often lead to problems which require social work intervention. The intervention process is described as it applies at three levels of practice: primary, secondary, and tertiary. A strong emphasis on preventive intervention makes this book an important addition to the field. This book should be of interest to senior-graduates taking a course in social work practice which focuses on the elderly; professionals in nursing schools, senior-level psychology departments, and graduate-level gerontology departments.
