Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Counseling older adults is not equivalent to counseling the general population, and specialized skills and knowledge, as well as sensitivity |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the contexts in which older adults live, are essential in working successfully with this population. This book provides an introduction to gerontological counseling, covering theories of aging (including a theory of gerontological counseling) and their practical application in counseling work with older adults; basic counseling skills and the counseling process in the context of work with older adults; contextual factors (race-ethnicity, social class, etc.); and a discussion of social justice issues. Also considered are biopsychosocial-spiritual contexts of older adults, as well as the counseling skills and process interventions that maximize counseling success within these contexts."-- |
