About this title

Synopsis:

The second volume in this six volume set contains a balance of articles representing current theories and research across the domains of psychology, as they relate to aging. Ours is truly the age of aging. We are on the edge of a demographic, social, economic, and health transition revolution which will globally shape life in the Twenty-First Century. Increasingly, the aging of the population is having vast social and personal impact, changing past perceptions of the life-cycle; the organization of health care systems; social security policy; economics of retirement; political elections; cultural and religious views on aging and death; intergenerational relations; the nature of family life; the structure of communities and attitudes towards death. Aging is a multi-disciplinary problem. The effects of aging is an area of study with ever increasing importance to departments in the humanities and sciences, and it is a phenomenon studied by many disciplines hosting a range of related courses.
