Abstract

Most older persons desire to remain living in the community, but those requiring care are often at risk of not having their needs met.

Policies and services are beginning to focus on the community rather than institutions as the primary axis for care.

Abstract

The book is organized into three sections: theoretical perspectives, socioeconomic structures, and contexts of self and society. Leading psychologists, anthropologists, gerontologists, and sociologists present theoretical and empirical advances that forge links between the individual and the social aspects of aging. It is must reading for researchers in all gerontologic specialties, and a valuable text for graduate courses in human development, psychology of aging, and other social aspects of aging.
