The book includes a comprehensive analysis of what growth implies within midlife and older age and considers how different developmental areas are intertwined (i.e., physical, cognitive, social and emotional development as well as personality growth). As the gap between theory and practice still constitutes an issue in developmental research, the handbook also aims to provide illustrative examples of prevention and intervention from a positive psychology perspective. These were selected to represent a variety of topics, relevant for individual development where research informs practice, ranging from happiness, grandparenthood, love and sexuality to loneliness, depression, anxiety, suicide prevention and coping with death. This handbook is a must-have resource for students and researchers working in developmental psychology, health psychology, gerontology and, public health. It will also be of interest to practitioners such as counsellors, life coaches, psychotherapists, organizational psychologists, health professionals, social workers or public health planners. 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aMiddle-aged persons$xPsychology 606 $aMaturation (Psychology) 606 $aOlder people$xPsychology 606 $aPsicologia del desenvolupament$2thub 606 $aPersones grans$2thub 606 $aPersones de mitjana edat$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 0$aMiddle-aged persons$xPsychology. 615 0$aMaturation (Psychology) 615 0$aOlder people$xPsychology. 615 7$aPsicologia del desenvolupament 615 7$aPersones grans 615 7$aPersones de mitjana edat 676 $a155 700 $aCra?ciun$b Irina Catrinel$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910674355103321 996 $aFostering Development in Midlife and Older Age$93056964 997 $aUNINA
