Aging & Mental Disorders (Psychological Approaches To Assessment & Treatment)
ISBN: 9780029359808 / Angielski / Miękka / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Aging and Mental Disorders should help dispel some of these too-common myths and misconceptions about the elderly. Widely acclaimed and enthusiastically reviewed, it gives professionals the knowledge and insights they...

Coping with Aging
ISBN: 9780195173024 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Coping with Aging is the final project of the late Richard S.

This technique is in line with his long-standing belief that experiences should be looked at in their specific contexts, rather than squeezed into an overly general statistical viewpoint that loses the subjects' motivations. Drawing on his...

Power and Poverty : Old Age in the Pre-Industrial Past
ISBN: 9780313311284 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Collectively, the chapters demonstrate there was a strong association of advanced age with authority in the lived experience of older men and women. This book recognizes poverty and physical limitations were a very real threat, but...
