BOOK
Throughout the world, the population of older adults continues to
grow. The rise in geriatric populations has seen an increase in
research on clinical diagnostic, assessment, and treatment issues
aimed at this population. Clinical geropsychologists have
increased their interest both in providing mental health services
as well as developing approaches to improve quality of life for
all older adults
The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Geropsychology is a landmark
publication in this field, providing broad and authoritative
coverage of the research and practice issues in clinical
geropsychology today, as well as innovations expanding the
field's horizons. Comprising chapters from the foremost scholars
in clinical geropsychology from around the world, the handbook
captures the global proliferation of activity in this field
In addition to core sections on topics such as sources of
psychological distress, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention
the handbook includes valuable chapters devoted to methodological
issues such as longitudinal studies and meta-analyses in the
field, as well as new and emerging issues such as technological
innovations and social media use in older populations. Each
chapter offers a review of the most pertinent international
literature, outlining current issues as well as important
cultural implications and key practice issues where relevant, and
identifying possibilities for future research and policy
applications
The book is essential to all psychology researchers
practitioners, educators, and students with an interest in the
mental health of older adults. In addition, health professionals
including psychiatrists, social workers, mental health nurses
and trainee geriatric mental heatlh workers - will find this a
invaluable resource
Older adults comprise a growing percentage of the population
worldwide. Clinical psychologists with an interest in older
populations have increased the amount of research and applied
knowledge about effectively improving mental health later in
life, and this book captures that information on an international
level. The book addresses how to diagnose, assess and treat
mental illness in older persons, as well as ways to improve
quality of life in all older persons. It has a great breadth of
coverage of the area, including chapters spanning how research is
conducted to how new technologies such as virtual reality and
social media are used with older people to improve mental health
The book would appeal to all psychology researchers
practitioners, educators and students with an interest in the
mental health of older adults. It would also appeal to other
health professionals, including psychiatrists, social workers
and mental health nurses who work with older people. It is a
valuable resource for trainee geriatric mental health workers
because it highlights key readings and important practice
implications in the field
